Add chicken and coat well. Marinate for 15–30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge).
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
Remove and let rest for 2–3 minutes, then slice.
3. Make the Sauces
Garlic Mayo: Mix mayo, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Chili Sauce: Use sweet chili sauce as is or mix with a dash of hot sauce for heat.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas or flatbreads briefly.
Spread garlic mayo on each wrap, add lettuce, tomato, onion, and chicken.
Drizzle with chili sauce and top with avocado and herbs if using.
Fold and roll up tightly.
5. Serve
Serve warm or wrap in foil for meal prep or lunchboxes. Add extra sauce on the side if you like it saucy!
