Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup sweet chili sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ginger powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1 carrot, julienned

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Toothpicks (optional, for securing rolls)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. This mixture will serve as your flavorful marinade.

    Marinate the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken breasts into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.

      Preheat the Grill: Before grilling, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Optionally, brush the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

        Grill the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the refrigerator, discarding any remaining marinade. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.

          Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it thinly across the grain into strips, making it easier to roll into the lettuce.

            Assemble the Rolls: Take one large lettuce leaf and lay it flat. On top, place several strips of the grilled chicken, followed by a few slices of cucumber, some julienned carrot, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. If desired, drizzle a little extra sweet chili sauce over the top for added flavor.

              Roll It Up: Carefully roll the lettuce leaf around the fillings to create a wrap. If needed, secure the ends with a toothpick to help hold everything together.

                Garnish and Serve: Arrange the completed rolls on a serving platter. For an added touch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for crunch and a decorative finish. Serve immediately, accompanied by extra sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
