Ingredients

Chicken & Marinade

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 lime (juice only)

Vegetables & Fillings

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

Wraps & Garnish

  • 6 large tortillas or wraps
  • Sweet chili sauce (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Simmer the chicken: In a medium pot, combine the chicken breasts, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Place the pot over medium heat, cover it, and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
  2. Shred and thicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken into chunks using two forks. Uncover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and allow the chicken and sauce to simmer gently to thicken the sauce while you prepare the vegetables.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the green lettuce leaves. Shred the carrots and Daikon radish, dice the cucumber, slice the red onion, and chop the sweet peppers. Arrange all vegetables ready for assembling the wraps.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Lay a few pieces of lettuce on each large tortilla or wrap. Top with a generous amount of the shredded chicken and spoonfuls of the prepared shredded and diced vegetables. Drain off any excess liquid from the chicken to prevent sogginess.
  5. Garnish and serve: Drizzle additional sweet chili sauce over the fillings and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for garnish. Roll the wraps tightly and serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking that its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • You can customize the wraps by adding avocado slices or substituting soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • For a spicier kick, add some chopped fresh chili or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and used in salads or sandwiches.
