They’re easy to whip up, packed with juicy chicken and a touch of sweetness from the chili sauce.

Ingredients

Tip: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the juiciest results.

  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large tortillas or wraps
  • Optional: shredded lettuce, grated carrot, or cucumber slices for freshness

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation

Dice the chicken into small, even pieces and slice the vegetables thinly. Mince the garlic and set everything aside so it’s ready to cook quickly. This keeps the cooking process smooth and stress-free.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it’s golden and firm on the outside. Stir frequently so it cooks evenly without drying out.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients

Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables soften slightly and the aroma fills your kitchen. Stir in sweet chili sauce and soy sauce, coating the chicken and vegetables thoroughly.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly. The chicken should be tender and glistening with sauce.
