Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts

- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions

- Season boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the seasoned chicken in the hot skillet.

- Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for five minutes before slicing thinly.
- Pour 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir the teriyaki sauce occasionally until warmed through, about three minutes.
- Chop your crisp veggies by slicing cucumber into thin rounds, julienning bell peppers into strips, and tearing or chopping lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

- Add a generous layer of sliced chicken down the center of the tortilla.
- Drizzle with warm teriyaki sauce.
Notes
Storage: To store leftover wraps, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 3 days. For best quality, it’s recommended to separate the chicken and veggies if you plan to store them for longer to avoid sogginess.
Reheating: To reheat, unwrap the wrap and place it in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave it for 30-60 seconds, but be cautious not to overheat, as this may make the tortilla chewy.
Serving: Serve the wraps immediately after assembling, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and texture. Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad to complement the meal.
Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the chicken to absorb the flavors better and results in a more delicious wrap. You can also add other toppings like avocado or shredded carrots for more variety.
