Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced

1 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped

1/2 cup carrot, grated

1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced

8 small tortillas or wraps

1/4 cup shredded lettuce

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken thighs and teriyaki sauce. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

      Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the green bell pepper and grated carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

        Thicken the Sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly.

          Prepare the Wraps: Warm the tortillas or wraps in a separate pan for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

            Assemble the Wrap Pockets: Lay a warm tortilla flat, add a generous scoop of the chicken and vegetable mixture in the center, then top with shredded lettuce and sliced green onions.

              Fold and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, and then roll it up from the bottom to create a wrap pocket. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve warm and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
