Ingredients for Teriyaki Chicken Wrap

Main Ingredients:

1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sesame oil
4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier twist)
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
½ cup shredded carrots
½ cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
¼ cup chopped green onions

Optional Add-ons:

Avocado slices (for creaminess)
Pickled ginger (for a tangy kick)
Cooked edamame (for extra protein)
Sesame seeds (for crunch)
Spicy mayo or sriracha drizzle (for heat)

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Tip: Use a zip-top bag for even coating and easy cleanup.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil, then cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 75°C).
Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Optional: Grill the chicken for a smoky flavor — it takes this wrap up a notch.

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

While the chicken cooks, prep your veggies — wash, chop, and set them aside. Mix colors for visual appeal: red, yellow, and green bell peppers make a gorgeous combination.

Step 4: Assemble the Wrap

Lay a tortilla flat. Add a bed of lettuce, then layer on chicken, carrots, peppers, and green onions. Add any extras like avocado or spicy mayo.

Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half if serving immediately.

Tips & Tricks for the Best Teriyaki Chicken Wraps

Balance the flavors: Sweet teriyaki, salty soy, and fresh crunch make magic — don’t skip the veggies.
Warm the tortillas: A quick 10-second toast makes them pliable and prevents tearing.
Don’t overfill: Less is more for neat, handheld wraps.
Meal prep tip: Store components separately and assemble just before eating to keep the tortilla fresh.
Add texture: Sprinkle sesame seeds or crushed peanuts for extra crunch.
