Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine recommended)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Optional Add-ons
- Avocado slices
- Pickled ginger
- Edamame
- Sesame seeds
- Spicy mayo or sriracha
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until combined. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. For best flavor, marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. When hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until the chicken turns golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from pan and let rest for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, wash and shred the lettuce, carrots, slice bell peppers, and chop green onions. Mix the vegetables or keep separate as preferred.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer shredded lettuce in the center, add sliced cooked chicken, then top with carrots, bell peppers, green onions, and any optional add-ons like avocado or sesame seeds. Fold the sides inward and roll from the bottom up tightly to form the wrap.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken longer enhances flavor and tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked to a safe internal temperature.
- Shredded vegetables add crunch and freshness to the wrap.
- Wrapping in parchment paper is ideal for serving and portability.
- Adjust spice level by adding sriracha or spicy mayo as desired.
