How does easy, delicious and healthy sound when preparing a lunchtime or lighter evening meal? Chicken Wrap with Sweetened Chili Sauce fits the bill. I recently tried a new wrap at a local restaurant because I had a coupon. I really enjoyed it!
A few days later with some left over roasted chicken in the fridge, I remembered the wrap and thought how easy it would be to duplicate it. A tasty sauce and the crisp cucumber were what stood out in my mind as the highlight of each bite.
I found many sauce recipes online and chose one that sounded good then adapted it for my wrap.
Chicken Wrap with Sweetened Chili Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
- cooked (grilled, roasted, rotisserie) cut into bite size pieces
- large flour tortillas
- Spring Mix fresh baby lettuces
- Cucumber, chopped large pieces
- Sweetened Chili Sauce (recipe below)
DIRECTIONS:
Warm wraps (I do this in the microwave)
Spread lettuces down center of each wrap; top with chicken and cucumber pieces.
Drizzle with Sweetened Chili Sauce
Fold up bottom of wrap; then fold in one side of wrap to center; tightly roll up wrap and secure with toothpick
Sweetened Chili Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar (I substituted half of the sugar with Splenda)
- 6 teaspoons chili sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Combine vinegar and water in a small sauce pan; whisk in cornstarch.
Add the remaining ingredients and heat, stirring often until mixture comes to a full boil, cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool.
Sauce will thicken as it cools.
Makes about 1/2 cup or 8 Tbs.
Recipe Notes:
I halved the recipe making about 4 Tbs and still had more than ample amount for three large wraps.

Looks delicious. I can't wait for my lettuce to harvest. Yum.
This looks wonderful, my husband makes a lovely sweet chilli chicken salad very much like this.
Looks yummy! I just had McDonald's version for supper. Bet yours tastes better! I hopped over here from Maple Lane's blog when I saw the title of your blog because I just began a Gratitude Journal blog myself. I see you have an Abe Lincoln quote! My son just bought me two of Carl Sandburg's books on Lincoln's war years for me and bought one about Lincoln's depression for himself. Well, I'll quit gabbing. Blessings!
that does look good. I haven't tried the wrap sandwiches at McDonald's but I've had them at work and they are good

I love the cucumber. I have to remember to make these this summer. Thanks for the chili sauce recipe.
This looks delicious and sounds so easy. We don't have corn syrup here, do you think I could use honey?
Sounds wonderful, Lorraine.
Delicious!
This sounds like a nice summer dinner. Quick and easy! I'd serve it with fruit salad.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes we had these at McD's the other day and would love to make similar at home — thanks. BTW yours are much prettier than McD's!
