Recipe preparation for Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps

How to Make Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps

Prepare the Chicken: Start by dicing the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper before cooking. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Sauté until golden brown on all sides and fully cooked through—about 5-7 minutes should do it. The kitchen will smell heavenly!

Add Garlic and Sauce: Toss in minced garlic during the last minute of cooking; let its aroma fill your kitchen. Pour in sweet chili sauce and cook until everything is coated evenly—just another minute or so.

Build Your Wraps: Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon generous amounts of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce and sliced bell peppers for that extra crunch.

Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla before rolling from one end to the other. Don’t worry if they look slightly wonky; it’s all part of their charm!

Serve with Lime Wedges: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easy handling. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for that zesty kick!

These Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps are sure to become a staple in your household—easy to make and deliciously satisfying! Enjoy experimenting with different fillings or sauces as you find your perfect combination!
