- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade) - 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat) - 1 cup shredded lettuce - 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned - 1/2 cucumber, washed and julienned - 1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced - 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional) - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 tablespoon olive oil To make teriyaki chicken wraps, you need simple yet fresh ingredients. First, chicken breasts are the star. They are easy to cook and delicious. Teriyaki sauce adds a sweet and salty flavor. You can use store-bought sauce or make your own. Next, grab some large tortillas. Flour or whole wheat tortillas work well. They hold the fillings nicely and make a great base for your wrap. Fresh veggies add crunch and color. Shredded lettuce gives a nice base. Carrots and cucumbers add a fresh taste. Red bell pepper adds sweetness and a pop of color. Green onions add a mild onion flavor. If you want a nutty touch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Finally, salt and pepper will help enhance all the flavors. These ingredients create a tasty and balanced meal. You can customize it based on your taste. Get ready to enjoy a quick and flavorful meal! {{ingredient_image_2}} To start, season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. You want a good amount for flavor. In a large skillet, add one tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the chicken in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side. You want the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). This ensures it's safe to eat. After cooking, reduce the heat to medium. Pour 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. This will help the chicken soak up the sauce. Turn the chicken in the sauce to coat it evenly. Once the chicken is done, take it out of the skillet. Place it on a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep the juices inside. After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips. Now, grab a large tortilla. Lay it flat on a clean surface. Start by adding a handful of shredded lettuce in the center. Then, layer on a few slices of the teriyaki chicken. Add the julienned carrots and cucumber next. Finally, place thin slices of red bell pepper on top. To roll the wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll it tightly towards the top. Make sure the filling stays secure inside the tortilla. For serving, use a sharp knife to cut the wrap in half diagonally. This makes it look nice and neat. You can sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for a decorative touch. Serve these wraps with a small bowl of extra teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping. For a colorful presentation, place the wraps on a platter with fresh cucumber slices and carrot sticks. This adds crunch and makes the dish inviting. - To ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly, check the internal temperature. It should be 165°F (75°C). This keeps your meal safe and tasty. - When using teriyaki sauce, pour it over cooked chicken. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. This helps the chicken absorb the flavor. - To prevent filling from spilling, do not overfill your wrap. A few slices of chicken and veggies work best. - When rolling tight wraps, start from the bottom. Fold in the sides before rolling up. This keeps everything secure. - For creative plating, use a colorful platter. Add fresh cucumber slices and carrot sticks around your wraps. This adds crunch and color. - Garnishes like chopped green onions and sesame seeds add flavor and look great. Just sprinkle them on top for a nice finish. Pro Tips Marinate for More Flavor: For an even richer taste, marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat better. Use Fresh Veggies: Fresh vegetables not only add crunch but also enhance the nutritional value. Opt for seasonal produce for the best flavor and texture. Wrap Tightly: Ensure that you wrap the tortillas tightly to prevent the fillings from falling out while eating. This also helps maintain the shape of the wrap. Experiment with Sauces: Feel free to try other sauces like sweet chili or hoisin for a different flavor profile. Mixing sauces can create a unique taste for your wraps. {{image_4}} You can switch up the protein in your wraps. For a vegetarian option, try tofu or tempeh. Both absorb flavors well and create a tasty wrap. Just marinate them in teriyaki sauce before cooking. If you love seafood, consider grilled shrimp. It adds a light and fresh taste. Pork also works great. Use thinly sliced pork tenderloin for a savory twist. Adding more veggies can make your wraps even better. Try bell peppers in different colors for added crunch and sweetness. You can also include thinly sliced radishes or avocado for creaminess. Seasonal veggies like zucchini or asparagus can enhance flavor and nutrition. Get creative with what you have on hand. You might find a new favorite! While teriyaki sauce is classic, you can try other sauces for different flavors. A sweet chili sauce gives a nice kick. Or use hoisin sauce for a rich, sweet taste.

Before freezing, wrap each one in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer.
