Mouthwatering Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 lime, juice only
- 1 green lettuce
- 1 medium Daikon radish, shredded
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 2 cups shredded carrot
- ½ red onion, sliced
- Sweet peppers, chopped
- Fresh cilantro, garnish
- 6 large tortillas or wraps
- Sweet Chili Sauce, garnish
Instructions
- Combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice in a large bowl to create the marinade. Add the chicken breasts, turning to coat evenly, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (I find 30 minutes delivers even better flavor if you have the time).
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it bubble for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly and creates a glossy glaze on the chicken. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips against the grain. The chicken should be juicy inside with a beautiful sticky glaze coating each piece.
- Warm the tortillas slightly – either in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side or wrapped in damp paper towels in the microwave for 30 seconds. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear.
- Assemble each wrap by laying down a bed of green lettuce on the tortilla, then adding a portion of the sliced chicken. Top with shredded daikon, cucumber, carrot, red onion, and sweet peppers.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the fillings and drizzle with additional sweet chili sauce. I like to add an extra squeeze of lime juice at this stage for brightness.
- Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly to enclose all ingredients. Slice in half diagonally for the perfect presentation.
