Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 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
Wrap Components
- 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
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the marinade. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. For best results, marinate for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, wash and shred the lettuce, carrots, slice the bell peppers, and chop the green onions. Use a mix of bell pepper colors for a vibrant presentation and shred the carrots and lettuce for added crunch.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer shredded lettuce in the center, then add the sliced cooked chicken, shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and chopped green onions. Add any optional ingredients if desired. Roll the tortilla tightly to form the wrap and serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes for full flavor absorption; longer marination enhances taste.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- Allow chicken to rest after cooking to maintain juiciness.
- Feel free to customize the vegetable fillings with your favorite fresh veggies.
- Whole wheat tortillas can be used for a healthier alternative.
