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 and Vegetables
- 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (preferably romaine)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil, whisking until well blended. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring all pieces are fully coated. For best results, let the chicken marinate at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor penetration.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, wash and prepare the vegetables. Shred the lettuce and carrots, slice the bell peppers, and chop the green onions. These fresh ingredients add crunch and vibrant color to the wrap.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of shredded lettuce in the center, then add sliced chicken on top. Follow with shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and chopped green onions. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up tightly to secure all fillings inside. Optionally, wrap in parchment paper for serving.
Notes
- Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes; overnight marination intensifies flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (75°C).
- Rest cooked chicken for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
- Mix colorful bell peppers for an attractive and flavorful wrap.
- Choose whole wheat tortillas for a healthier, higher-fiber option.
- Wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated for meal prep convenience.
