Ingredients
Scale
Proteins and Sauce
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cup natural sweet chili sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Fresh Vegetables
- 1/2 cup mixed bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 4 lettuce leaves
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in a hot skillet over medium heat until golden and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Make the Sweet Chili Sauce Base: In a small saucepan, combine natural sweet chili sauce with a small amount of natural gelling agent if you prefer a thicker consistency. Warm gently while stirring for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Toss Chicken in Sauce: Place the cooked chicken strips in a bowl and pour over the warm sweet chili sauce. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated and glossy with flavor.
- Prepare the Fresh Veggies: Thinly slice bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and green onions. Chop fresh cilantro finely to sprinkle later. Wash and separate the lettuce leaves.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat and layer with a lettuce leaf, a few spoonfuls of saucy chicken, then add the fresh veggies on top. Garnish with cilantro, then carefully roll or fold the wrap tightly.
- Serve: Cut the wraps diagonally for a beautiful presentation and enjoy while still fresh and slightly warm.
Notes
- Warm your wraps slightly to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Keep the fillings balanced to avoid messy wraps.
- Use crisp, fresh vegetables for a delightful contrast to the tender chicken.
- Tweak natural sweet chili sauce to your preferred balance of heat and sweetness.
- Let sauce cool slightly after warming to better coat the chicken.
