If you’ve ever wished takeout could be cheaper, healthier, and just as flavorful, these sweet chili pineapple chicken wraps are your answer. Juicy chicken breasts simmer with sweet chili sauce, pineapple chunks, and red bell pepper to create a bright, tangy-sweet filling that feels like a tropical getaway in every bite.

As the chicken cooks low and slow, the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze that clings to each shred of meat. The pineapple juice adds natural sweetness, while the sweet chili sauce brings gentle heat and vibrant flavor. Red bell pepper adds a pop of color and crunch to balance the tender chicken.

Served in warm tortillas with shredded cabbage for freshness, these wraps are quick to assemble and even quicker to disappear. And since the entire batch comes together for under $5, you can enjoy takeout vibes without takeout prices. Leftovers taste incredible straight from the fridge, making them perfect for next-day lunches.
