Notes
- Some important notes to keep in mind while preparing the Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap (Grilled):
- Marinating the Chicken:
Ensure that you marinate the chicken breast for at least 1 hour. This step infuses flavor and keeps the chicken juicy during grilling.
You can adjust the sweetness and spiciness by varying the amount of sweet chilli sauce in the marinade.
- Grilling the Chicken:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure it’s hot enough to create those beautiful grill marks.
Grill the chicken until it’s fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.
- Toasting the Tortilla Wrap:
Lightly toast the tortilla wrap on a dry skillet or in the oven. This step adds a pleasant crunch and prevents the wrap from becoming soggy.
- Layering the Ingredients:
Spread the cool mayo evenly across the wrap. You can use more or less, depending on your preference.
Arrange the lettuce leaves in a single layer. Tear them into smaller pieces if needed.
Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. Make sure they are evenly distributed across the wrap.
Add cucumber slices for freshness. You can also include other veggies like bell peppers or red onions.
- Drizzling Sweet Chilli Sauce:
Drizzle another tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce over the chicken. Adjust the amount based on how much heat you like.
- Wrapping Technique:
Fold the wrap tightly, similar to a burrito. Start by folding in the sides, then roll it up from the bottom.
If you’re serving it immediately, wrap it in parchment paper or foil to hold its shape.
- Customization:
Feel free to get creative! Add grated cheese, avocado slices, or even a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for extra zing.
If you prefer a crunchier wrap, consider adding some tortilla chips inside.
- Serving Suggestions:
Serve your Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap (Grilled) with a side of crispy fries or a garden salad.
Enjoy it as a quick lunch or a light dinner.
Remember, cooking is an adventure, so feel free to tweak the recipe to your liking. Bon appétit! 🍽️
