Ingredients
1 1/2 lb (680 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp neutral oil (avocado or canola)
1/2 cup (120 ml) sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp grated garlic (about 2 cloves)
1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
2 tbsp water
1/2 cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
1 tbsp sweet chili sauce (for drizzle)
1 tbsp lime juice (for drizzle)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt
1–2 tbsp water, to thin drizzle
8 large flour tortillas (10-inch/25 cm) or 10 smaller tortillas
2 cups (160 g) shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
1 cup (110 g) shredded carrots
1 cup (100 g) thinly sliced cucumber
1/2 cup (15 g) cilantro leaves (optional)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Pat chicken dry. Toss with 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated.
2. Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in an even layer and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweet chili sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tsp grated garlic, 1 tsp ginger (optional), and 2 tbsp water. Stir and simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy and thickened. Remove from heat.
4. Make the drizzle: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Thin with 1–2 tbsp water to desired consistency.
5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet (10–15 seconds per side) or in the microwave (20–30 seconds wrapped in a damp towel).
6. Assemble: Add cabbage, carrots, and cucumber to each tortilla. Top with sweet chili chicken, drizzle with sauce, and finish with cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
For best texture, store chicken, veggies, tortillas, and drizzle separately and assemble just before eating.
If using chicken breast, slice thinly and avoid overcooking; the sauce only needs 1–2 minutes to thicken.
To reduce heat, choose a mild sweet chili sauce and add extra cucumber and drizzle.
