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 preferred)
- 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 medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Place the chicken breasts in the mixture, coating evenly. 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 with a splash of oil. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, wash and shred lettuce, shred carrots, slice bell peppers, and chop green onions. Prepare any additional veggies or optional ingredients to preference.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of shredded lettuce in the center, then add sliced chicken, carrots, bell peppers, and green onions. Add any optional toppings like avocado or sesame seeds. Fold the sides inwards and roll from the bottom up to form a secure wrap.
Notes
- Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes; longer marinating (up to overnight) improves flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (75°C).
- Warm tortillas briefly in a dry pan before assembling to increase pliability.
- Store components separately if preparing ahead to prevent soggy wraps.
- Feel free to substitute chicken breasts with thighs or tofu for different variations.
- Customize with sauces like spicy mayo or sriracha for extra flavor.
