Ingredients
Scale
- 450 g (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 120 ml (½ cup) sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey
- 1 tsp (5 ml) soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 6 g)
- 1 tsp (5 g) grated fresh ginger
- 200 g (4 cups) shredded cabbage mix
- 1 medium carrot, julienned (70 g / 1/2 cup)
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) lime juice
- 120 g (½ cup) plain Greek yogurt
- 4 large flour tortillas (25–30 cm / 10–12 in)
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1 tsp (5 g) kosher salt
- ½ tsp (2.5 g) black pepper
Instructions
- Make the sweet chili glaze: In a small saucepan combine sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
- Pat chicken thighs dry and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Slice into 2–3 cm (¾–1 in) strips.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Pour the warm glaze over the cooked chicken and toss for 1 minute until coated and reduced slightly.
- Toss the slaw ingredients together in a bowl: shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side. Spread yogurt on each tortilla, add slaw, top with glazed chicken, and roll tightly.
Notes
For extra juicy chicken, brine thighs for 15 minutes in a salt solution before cooking. Store wraps in an airtight container for best freshness.
