Quick and easy sweet chili chicken wraps with a homemade sweet chili glaze, crisp veggies, and tender chicken, perfect for busy weeknights or casual lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) skinless, boneless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • ½ cup (120 ml) homemade sweet chili sauce (chili flakes, honey, rice vinegar, garlic)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded carrots
  • 2 stalks green onions, chopped
  • A handful fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25 cm)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) lime juice
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey
  • ½ tsp chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breast into thin strips about ½ inch thick.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Adjust heat and sweetness to taste.
  3. Toss sliced chicken in half of the sauce mixture and marinate for 5-10 minutes if possible.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  5. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same pan, sauté red bell pepper and shredded carrots for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Return chicken to the pan with veggies. Pour in remaining sauce and toss for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats ingredients.
  7. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15 seconds to make pliable.
  8. Divide chicken and veggie mixture evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
  9. Roll up wraps tightly, folding in sides to prevent filling from escaping. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 5 minutes to lock in juiciness. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing. If sauce is too runny, cook a bit longer on low heat to thicken. Use tongs to flip chicken to avoid breaking strips. Sauce can be made ahead and stored in fridge. For gluten-free, swap flour tortillas for corn tortillas or large lettuce leaves.
