Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts/thighs Feel free to substitute with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • 1/2 cup Sweet Chili Sauce Brands like Mae Ploy or Frank's RedHot work excellently.
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) Using tamari ensures this dish remains gluten-free.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice Adds zesty brightness to the flavor profile.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Adjust the quantity based on your taste preferences.
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger Always choose freshly grated for the best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil Used for cooking to prevent sticking.
For the Creamy Spread
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt Combining both options can elevate your wrap’s health quotient.
For the Wrap
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas or spinach wraps You can opt for gluten-free tortillas if necessary.
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce Any salad green you prefer will work just fine.
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage Provides texture and bright color to your wrap.
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or grated Introduces sweetness and an additional crunch.
  • 1/2 English cucumber cut into thin matchsticks Gives a refreshing crunch and hydration.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves Feel free to omit if cilantro isn’t your favorite.
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced Adds a delightful crunch and a hint of tang.

Method
 

Marinating and Cooking
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. Add the boneless, skinless chicken and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the creamy spread by mixing the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with a splash of sweet chili sauce and additional lime juice until smooth.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Pour any reserved marinade over the chicken in the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds or in a dry skillet over low heat until soft.
  6. To assemble, spread the creamy sauce on a warm tortilla, layer with shredded lettuce, red cabbage, carrots, and cucumber, then add glazed chicken, cilantro, and green onions.
  7. Fold sides inward and roll tightly to form a secure wrap. Optionally secure with a toothpick or parchment paper.
