Quick and flavorful wraps featuring tender chicken strips coated in a sweet chili glaze, paired with crisp veggies for a satisfying meal ready in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 6–8 romaine lettuce leaves or large flour tortillas
  • Optional add-ins: shredded carrots, cucumber slices, chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Slice 1 lb (450 g) of chicken breasts or thighs into thin strips about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Pat dry with paper towels. (5 minutes)
  2. Thinly slice 1 medium red bell pepper and chop 2 green onions. Prepare optional shredded carrots or cucumber if using. (5 minutes)
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet until hot but not smoking. (2 minutes)
  4. Add chicken strips in a single layer. Let sit undisturbed for 1-2 minutes to brown, then stir occasionally until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes total. (6 minutes)
  5. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn. (30 seconds)
  6. Pour in ⅓ cup (80 ml) sweet chili sauce and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce. Stir to coat chicken evenly. Let bubble gently for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. (2 minutes)
  7. Remove pan from heat and toss in sliced bell peppers and green onions, stirring to combine. (1 minute)
  8. Lay out romaine leaves or tortillas. Spoon chicken mixture onto each and add optional extras like shredded carrots or a squeeze of lime. (5 minutes)
  9. Serve immediately to maintain crunch and juiciness.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning. Pat chicken dry before cooking. Add sauce after chicken is cooked to avoid sogginess. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing. Wrap gently to avoid spills. For gluten-free, use tamari and lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
