Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 400g chicken breast, cut into thin strips
Sauce
- 4 tbsp sweet chili sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp grape juice
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 4 large lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Wraps
- 4 soft tortillas or wraps (whole wheat or spinach for variation)
Other
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into thin strips for quick, even cooking. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Create the Sweet Chili Sauce Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce (natural), grape juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), minced garlic, grated ginger, and natural gelling agent until well combined.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet, stirring to coat evenly. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the chicken, creating a glossy coating.
- Prepare Fresh Veggies: While the chicken simmers, thinly slice the bell peppers and carrots. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves to keep them crisp.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a tortilla or wrap, place a few lettuce leaves down the center, add the saucy chicken strips, then top with bell peppers, carrots, and a sprinkle of chopped coriander. Roll tightly to enclose the filling.
Notes
- Use warm wraps to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
- Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of sweet chili sauce or adding fresh chili slices.
- Add fresh veggies right before serving for the best crunch.
- Roll wraps tightly to keep the filling contained during eating.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, keeping wraps and vegetables separate to avoid sogginess.
- Freeze only the cooked chicken mixture; defrost fully before reheating and assembling fresh wraps.
- Reheat chicken gently in a pan or microwave to maintain tenderness.
