  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime

Vegetables & Garnish

  • Green lettuce (enough for 6 wraps)
  • 1 medium Daikon radish, shredded
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 2 cups shredded carrot
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • Sweet peppers, chopped (approximately 1 cup)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Wraps

  • 6 large tortillas or wraps of your choice
  • Extra sweet chili sauce, for drizzling and garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine chicken breasts, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Cover and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  2. Shred the chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Uncover the pot and reduce the heat to low, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly while you prepare the vegetables.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Shred the daikon radish and carrots, dice the cucumber, slice the red onion thinly, and chop the sweet peppers. Set these aside for assembling the wraps.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Lay a large tortilla or wrap flat on a plate. Place a few pieces of green lettuce on it, then add a generous portion of the shredded chicken, followed by a colorful assortment of the shredded and chopped vegetables. Drain off any excess liquid from the chicken before adding. Drizzle extra sweet chili sauce over the top, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Roll up the wrap tightly and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If preferred, substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to make them easier to roll.
  • You can adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to taste if you prefer a milder or spicier wrap.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free wraps.
  • These wraps can be made ahead of time by preparing the chicken and vegetables separately; assemble just before serving to keep the wraps fresh and crunchy.
