Honey Chili Crunch Chicken Wrap (Printable)

Tender chicken with sweet-spicy honey chili crisp sauce, crisp vegetables, and soft tortilla for a quick flavorful meal.

# What You Need:

→ For the Chicken

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 14 ounces), thinly sliced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
04 - ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
05 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

→ For the Honey Chili Crisp Sauce

06 - 3 tablespoons honey
07 - 2 tablespoons chili crisp (store-bought or homemade)
08 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
09 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

→ For the Wrap

10 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
11 - 2 cups chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce
12 - 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
13 - ½ cup shredded carrot (optional, for added crunch)
14 - ¼ cup thinly sliced scallions
15 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Season the sliced chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, chili crisp, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth and well combined.
04 - Add the warm cooked chicken to the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently until each piece is evenly coated with the honey chili crisp mixture.
05 - Briefly warm each tortilla in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side or microwave for 15–20 seconds until pliable.
06 - Lay each warmed tortilla flat. If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise down the center. Layer with lettuce, cucumber, carrot, and scallions. Top with a quarter of the sauced chicken.
07 - Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The honey chili crisp sauce strikes that perfect sweet spicy balance that makes your mouth happy alive
  • These wraps come together in under 30 minutes but taste like something from a fancy lunch counter
02 -
  • Don't skip the tortilla warming step, I learned this the hard way with three cracked wraps and chicken everywhere
  • The sauce thickens as it cools, so if you're meal prepping, add a splash of rice vinegar when reheating
03 -
  • Pat your chicken completely dry before seasoning or it'll steam instead of sear
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking so it stays juicy when tossed with sauce
