Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Vegetables and Wrap
- 1 cup fresh mixed greens
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 4 whole wheat or spinach wraps
Finishing Touches
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese (plant-based), shredded or crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into thin strips for quick, even cooking. Toss the chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt, and olive oil to season lightly.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken strips until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and toss the chicken with the sweet chili sauce (natural) and apple cider vinegar to combine flavors.
- Prep the Veggies: While the chicken cooks, thinly slice the red bell pepper, shred the carrot, and rinse and dry the mixed greens to keep them crisp.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each wrap and layer fresh mixed greens, the saucy chicken strips, sliced red bell peppers, shredded carrots, and finish with a sprinkle of plant-based cheese (plant-based). Roll the wraps tightly but gently, folding the sides in to secure the fillings.
- Optional: Warm Wrap: For a melty and slightly toasty finish, warm assembled wraps in a pan for 1-2 minutes until the plant-based cheese melts.
Notes
- Cut chicken into equal strips for even cooking and easier wrapping.
- Prepare vegetables just before assembly to maintain crunchiness.
- Lightly toast wraps before assembling to prevent tearing.
- Adding apple cider vinegar balances the sweetness with a refreshing tang.
- Use a natural gelling agent if preparing your own sweet chili sauce to achieve ideal texture.
