Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken
- 1 pound Boneless Chicken Breast or chicken thighs for moister bite
- 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (opt for low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (maple syrup is a vegan substitute)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil or olive oil
For the Wrap
- 4 pieces Tortillas (whole wheat for a nutritious alternative)
For the Crunch
- 2 cups Lettuce or spinach/kale
- 1 cup Vegetables (Carrots, Bell Peppers, Green Onions) – customize with available veggies
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Add the boneless chicken breast or thighs and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small splash of oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, wash and chop the lettuce, carrots, bell peppers, and green onions into bite-sized pieces for a fresh and crunchy texture in the wrap.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start by adding a layer of shredded lettuce or greens, followed by slices of the cooked chicken, then top with the chopped vegetables. Add any additional toppings or extra teriyaki sauce if desired.
- Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the tortilla up tightly around the fillings to create a wrap. Serve the wraps immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For moister chicken, use thighs instead of breasts.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup to make the recipe vegan.
- Use whole wheat tortillas to add fiber and nutrients.
- Feel free to swap or add vegetables such as cucumbers, radishes, or avocado for more variety.
- Extra teriyaki sauce can be drizzled on top or served on the side for dipping.
- Marinating the chicken longer than 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) will intensify the flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free tortillas.
