Ingredients
- 1½ lbs chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup chopped cucumber

Step-by-Step Instructions
➜ In a skillet over medium heat, add chicken pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until no longer pink.
➜ Add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and lime juice. Stir to coat the chicken and simmer for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is glazed.
➜ While the chicken simmers, prep the vegetables: slice the red bell pepper, shred the carrots, chop the cucumber and slice the onion.
➜ Warm the tortillas lightly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
➜ On each tortilla, layer the glazed chicken, the veggies and chopped cilantro. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.
➜ Serve immediately, with lime wedges if desired, or wrap in foil for a grab-and-go meal.
Pro Tips (FAQ-Style)
Can I make this ahead for lunch?
Yes—prepare the chicken mixture ahead, store separately in the fridge, then assemble into wraps just before eating for best texture.
Is this wrap freezer-friendly?
You can freeze assembled wraps, but for best texture freeze the chicken separately and assemble fresh.
What can I substitute for tortillas?
Use whole-wheat wraps, collard-green leaves, or lettuce wraps for a grain-free option.
