# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken & Marinade

01 - 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
03 - 1 tbsp soy sauce
04 - 1 tbsp olive oil
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1 tsp ground ginger

# How to Prepare:

01 - Place chicken breasts in a bowl. Season with garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
02 - Combine sweet chili sauce and soy sauce in a separate bowl. Pour half over the chicken and reserve the rest for drizzling. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, reaching internal temperature of 165°F.
04 - Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
05 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
06 - Lay a tortilla flat. Layer with shredded lettuce, chicken strips, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and cilantro if desired.
07 - Drizzle with reserved sweet chili sauce. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
08 - Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Slice wraps diagonally and serve with lime wedges.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The sweet and tangy sauce clings to every bite of juicy chicken
  • Crisp vegetables cut through the richness for perfect texture balance
  • Everything comes together in under an hour with minimal cleanup
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing is nonnegotiable or all those juices end up on your cutting board instead of in your wrap
  • Warming your tortillas prevents cracking and makes rolling so much easier
  • Do not skip reserving that extra sauce for drizzling because it is the finishing touch that ties everything together
03 -
  • Pound your chicken breasts to even thickness before marinating for more uniform cooking
  • If your tortillas are stiff, sprinkle them with water and microwave for 15 seconds
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the chicken for clean cuts that do not shred the meat
