Description
Make these flavorful chicken wraps using a simple sweet chili sauce and a crunchy Asian slaw for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 large flour tortillas or lettuce cups
- For the Slaw:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage (green and purple mix)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Pinch of salt
- For Topping:
- 2 tablespoons crispy fried shallots
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
- Coat the chicken: Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken well, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and cilantro.
- Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, sesame oil, and salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble the wraps: Warm the tortillas if desired. Place a portion of the sweet chili chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous amount of the Asian slaw.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle with crispy fried shallots before rolling up the wraps tightly. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can prepare the chicken mixture and the slaw up to one day ahead. Store them separately in the refrigerator.
- For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha to the sauce mixture.
- Use large butter lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a low-carb option.
