# Instructions:
01 -
Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1/2-inch pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 clove garlic, minced. This forms the flavorful base for your Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps | Quick Meal Prep Delight.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
03 -
Pour the prepared sweet chili sauce mixture over the chicken. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Shred the chicken directly in the pan using two forks, ensuring it's coated in the sauce for your Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps | Quick Meal Prep Delight.
04 -
While the chicken cooks, prepare your fresh components. Wash and pat dry 8 large butter lettuce leaves. Combine 1 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped green onions in a bowl.
05 -
Lay out the butter lettuce leaves. Spoon a generous amount of the warm sweet chili chicken mixture into the center of each leaf. Top with the prepared shredded carrots, red bell pepper, and green onions.
06 -
Finish your Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps | Quick Meal Prep Delight by sprinkling with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts. Serve immediately with 1 lime, cut into wedges, for an extra burst of freshness.
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with firm tofu or tempeh, pressed and cubed, then cooked similarly.
02 -
Store the chicken mixture and fresh veggies separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Assemble just before eating to keep the lettuce crisp.
03 -
If you like more heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sweet chili sauce mixture.
04 -
These wraps are also delicious served over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
