Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 whole wheat pita pockets
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Optional: sliced jalapeño for extra heat
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly charred (165°F internal temperature). Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Warm pita pockets on the grill for 1 minute per side or in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Assemble wraps by layering lettuce, carrots, sliced chicken, cucumber, cilantro, and optional jalapeño into each pita.
- Drizzle with extra sweet chili sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
Swap chicken thighs with chicken breast for a leaner option.
Try naan, tortillas, or flatbread instead of pita.
Add avocado slices for creaminess.
Use grilled tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
Store leftover chicken separately from pita and veggies to keep them fresh.
