Honey Chili Crunch Chicken (Printable Version)

Juicy chicken with honey chili crisp sauce and fresh vegetables wrapped in a soft tortilla.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

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

→ 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

→ Wrap Components

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

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine sliced chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring even coating.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and golden. Remove from heat.
03 - Whisk together honey, chili crisp, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small bowl to form the sauce.
04 - Toss warm cooked chicken with the honey chili crisp sauce until uniformly coated.
05 - Heat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to increase pliability.
06 - Lay each tortilla flat and, if desired, spread mayonnaise down the center. Layer with lettuce, cucumber, carrot, and scallions, then add a quarter portion of the sauced chicken.
07 - Roll tortillas tightly, folding in the sides to enclose the filling. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The honey chili sauce hits every flavor button at once sweet, spicy, salty, and umami
  • Everything comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something you'd order at a fusion restaurant
02 -
  • Dont skip warming the tortillas because cold ones crack and make the whole experience disappointing
  • The sauce thickens as it cools so toss the chicken immediately while its still hot from the pan
03 -
  • Let the chicken rest for a couple minutes after cooking so it stays juicy when sliced
  • If your chili crisp is on the thicker side, warm the honey slightly before whisking
