Ingredients for Teriyaki Chicken Wrap
Main Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Wraps
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until smooth. Add the chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Longer marination means deeper flavor.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Let it rest, then slice into strips.
Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables
While the chicken cooks, wash and slice all vegetables. Keep everything fresh and crisp for the best texture in your wrap.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat. Add lettuce first, then sliced chicken, carrots, bell peppers, and green onions. Add any optional toppings you like. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom up.
