– 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– ½ cup sweet chili sauce
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

– 1 cucumber, julienned
– 1 carrot, grated
– 1 cup lettuce, shredded

Creating Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps can be fun and easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Marinated Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add the chicken strips, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet, cooking for approximately 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red bell pepper, julienne the cucumber, and grate the carrot. Set them aside.
5. Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas for a few seconds to make them pliable.
6. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add a portion of cooked chicken in the center, followed by bell peppers, cucumber, carrot, and shredded lettuce.
7. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up tightly.
8. Serve: Once all wraps are assembled, slice them in half if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color.
