🕒 Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for spread)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken, sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. - Glaze with Sweet Chili Sauce
Lower the heat slightly and pour in the sweet chili sauce. Toss the chicken until every piece is coated in that glossy, sweet-and-spicy glaze. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes so the flavors absorb. - Prepare the Veggies
While the chicken cooks, slice your veggies: crisp lettuce, crunchy carrots, bell pepper, and cucumber. Keep them in bowls for easy assembly. - Warm the Tortillas
Place tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or microwave for 15 seconds. Warming makes them more pliable and less likely to tear when rolling. - Assemble the Wraps
Spread 1–2 tbsp of Greek yogurt (or sour cream) down the center of each tortilla. Add a handful of lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and bell pepper. Layer on the sweet chili chicken, sprinkle cheese if using, and top with fresh cilantro. - Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap. Slice in half for easy serving. - Serve & Enjoy
Serve immediately with extra sweet chili sauce for dipping, or wrap tightly in foil for a grab-and-go lunch.
Pro Tips for Perfect Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps
- Make Ahead Friendly: Cook and glaze the chicken in advance, then store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble wraps just before eating for the freshest crunch.
- Add Some Heat: If you like it spicy, drizzle in some sriracha or sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes before rolling.
- Low-Carb Swap: Replace flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves for a lighter option.
