Ingredients

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 romaine lettuce
  • 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

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until well combined. Place the chicken breasts in the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. For best results, marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator, using a zip-top bag if desired for easy mixing.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook each side for 6-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Confirm doneness by checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer, which should read 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain juiciness.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, wash and shred the romaine lettuce and carrots. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips and chop the green onions. Prepare any optional add-ons like avocado slices or edamame at this time.
  4. Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Arrange a generous amount of shredded lettuce down the center, top with sliced cooked chicken, shredded carrots, bell peppers, and green onions. Add any optional toppings such as avocado, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of spicy mayo or sriracha. Fold or roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken longer, ideally a few hours or overnight.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked chicken and avoid overcooking.
  • Customize your wrap with optional add-ons like avocado or spicy sauces to suit your taste preferences.
  • Whole wheat tortillas can be used for a healthier alternative.
  • Shredding vegetables makes the wrap easier to eat and provides a crunchy texture.
