# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (14 oz), thinly sliced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

→ Honey Chili Crisp Sauce

06 - 3 tablespoons honey
07 - 2 tablespoons chili crisp
08 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
09 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

→ Wrap Assembly

10 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inch)
11 - 2 cups chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce
12 - 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
13 - 1/2 cup shredded carrot
14 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
15 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

# Directions:

01 - Season sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, coating evenly on all surfaces.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and sauté for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
03 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, chili crisp, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until well combined.
04 - Toss the warm cooked chicken with the honey chili crisp sauce until all pieces are evenly coated.
05 - Briefly warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds to increase pliability and prevent tearing.
06 - Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise down the center of each tortilla.
07 - Arrange lettuce, cucumber, carrot, and scallions in a line across each tortilla. Top with one quarter of the honey chili chicken mixture.
08 - Roll each tortilla tightly from bottom to top, folding in the sides as you progress to create a secure wrap. Ensure filling is contained.
09 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The honey chili crisp sauce walks the perfect line between sweet heat and umami richness, coating every bite.
  • Everything comes together in one skillet and a few minutes of assembly, no oven or fuss required.
  • Fresh veggies and tender chicken make it filling without feeling heavy, ideal for lunch or a quick dinner.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the skillet when searing the chicken or it will steam instead of getting that golden crust.
  • Taste your chili crisp first, some brands are much hotter than others, so adjust the amount to your heat tolerance.
  • Warming the tortillas is non-negotiable, cold tortillas crack and tear the moment you try to roll them.
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to slice the scallions quickly and evenly without crushing them on a cutting board.
  • If your tortillas keep cracking, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds to make them super pliable.
  • Double the sauce recipe and keep extra in the fridge, it's fantastic on grain bowls, noodles, or even scrambled eggs.
