Ingredients
Scale

- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Whole wheat tortillas (or flour tortillas, spinach wraps, or lettuce leaves)
- Bell peppers

Instructions
- Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: If you’re making homemade teriyaki sauce, combine ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar), 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Brush generously with the teriyaki sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Prep the Vegetables: While the chicken is resting, wash and slice your chosen vegetables. Aim for bite-sized pieces for easy wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Start with a layer of sliced chicken, followed by your choice of vegetables. Drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce if desired. Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
- Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally, and enjoy them immediately with any leftover teriyaki sauce for dipping!
