I’m going to come right out and say it.
I love McDonald’s Sweet Chili Chicken Wrap.
I love that Thai Sweet Chili sauce and I sure as heck love the combination of the sauce, cucumbers and tomato in that delicious wrap. The only problem is that I live about an hour away from the closest McDonald’s, so I’ve been making my own McDonald’s CopyCat Sweet Chili Chicken Wrap whenever I get the craving.
I’m pretty sure my copycat recipe is not only healthier, but it definitely looks more appealing than the wrap that McDonald’s actually gives you. You know how their photos are amazing, but when you actually unwrap your food you’re like, “WHAAAAAAT is this?!?!?”
That assembly line of people throwing your food together just don’t really care about presentation. Well, this wrap couldn’t be easier to put together!
You start with a whole wheat tortilla, then spread about half a tablespoon of light mayo in the center. The mayonnaise when mixed with the sweet chili sauce gives the wrap a delicious creamy texture. I use light mayo, and far less than McDonald’s uses because I’m not the biggest mayo fan, so feel free to use more or less if you desire.
I used some nice lettuce for this wrap, it’s a bibb lettuce (green leaf lettuce), but I’ve also used romaine lettuce before. I’m pretty sure that McDonald’s uses an iceberg lettuce which is mostly just water with no vitamins or nutrients at all.
See how much better we’re making this wrap already?
Next comes the tomato and cucumber. I used a hot house tomato and an english cucumber. I’m a huge fan of english cucumbers because the skin is thinner, there are fewer seeds, and they just taste better in my opinion. Leave the peel on, it has more nutrients that way.
Because I like to make this wrap frequently, I use the pre-grilled chicken breast strips. If you want the chicken warm, just heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds before placing in on the wrap.
Then just drizzle a little of that delicious Thai sweet chili sauce over it all, wrap it up, and enjoy your copycat McDonald’s Sweet Chili Chicken Wrap!
Yum. If you’ll excuse me, I have a date with one of these bad boys right now…

Make or buy a garlic aioli and use in place of the plain mayo. Adds great flavour to the wrap and tastes more like McD’s because they use a garlic aioli

Great idea! 🙂

I have to cook for my family tomorrow, since my parents and brother arent home. A fresh chicken chili wrap is just the perfect dinner on a hot summer evening! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Shawn
I hope you enjoy it Robin! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

Is there a particular brand (or recipe) for the chili sauce?
Shawn
I don’t have a particular brand to recommend. But you should be able to find a bottle in the Asian isle of your grocery store. 🙂

Seriously stay away from McDonalds you’re going to kill yourself eating that crap. My seven year old son knows those pictures are never anything like the real product, so it baffles me that would surprise you. I will give you props for trying to make a healthier version of food from a company not known for having the healthiest products though.

This is my favorite thing at McDonalds, other than the caramel frappe! Now I can have it any time I want, without having to pay six bucks. Thanks so much. We had it for supper tonight and even my husband loved it.

I always almost get the recipe right BUT when it’s time to wrap the wrap —- it goes everywhere. I’m a huge fan of Mac Donalss Spicy Mayo Wrap— instead of your sweet chilli —- it’s hot chilli & it is wow. Instead of using Mayo I my wrap – I use Aioli & put in a good dose of hot chilli powder in it
