Ingredients for Costco Asian Chicken Wrap

Few ingredients, big flavor. Quick grocery run makes this wrap a reality.

Ingredient Amount Notes
Chicken Breast 🍗 1 lb Boneless, skinless, cut into strips
Tortilla Wraps 🌾 4 whole Large flour tortillas
Iceberg Lettuce 🥗 2 cups Shredded, crisp
Red Cabbage 🥬 1 cup Thinly sliced
Carrots 🥕 1 cup Julienned or shredded
Cucumber 🥒 ½ cup Sliced thin
Asian-Style Sauce 🍜 ½ cup Store-bought or homemade
Sriracha Mayo 🌶️ ¼ cup Or regular mayonnaise
Cilantro 🌿 ¼ cup Chopped, for garnish
Green Onions 🌿 ¼ cup Sliced thin, for garnish
Sesame Seeds 🥜 2 tbsp Toasted, for garnish
Olive Oil 🫒 2 tbsp For cooking chicken
Soy Sauce 🧂 2 tbsp For marinating chicken
Garlic Powder 🧄 1 tsp For seasoning
Black Pepper 🌶️ ½ tsp Freshly ground

For the chicken, Costco’s pre-cooked chicken strips are a great shortcut, but cooking your own works too. If you’re making from scratch, look for organic chicken breasts at your local market. I usually grab mine from Safeway when I’m in a hurry. The key is to slice it thin so it cooks quickly and stays tender.

The Asian-Style Sauce is where the magic happens. You can find it in most grocery stores in the international section—La Choy or Kikkoman are solid brands. No sriracha mayo? Regular mayo with a dash of sriracha gets you close. For the veggies, pre-shredded cabbage and carrots save time, but slicing fresh is worth it if you’ve got the minutes. Trader Joe’s has great pre-made slaw that works in a pinch.

This wrap keeps well for 1 day in the fridge—just keep the sauce separate until you’re ready to eat. The chicken can be cooked and stored for 3-4 days. If you’re making for a crowd, prep the veggies and sauce ahead of time. The sauce can be made a week in advance and stored in the fridge.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Asian Chicken Wraps

Let’s create this delicious Costco-inspired dish together – easy and flavorful.

🔥 Step 1: Marinate and Cook the Chicken

Start by marinating the 1 lb Chicken Breast strips in a mixture of 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, and 0.5 tsp Black Pepper. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. I like to prepare this ahead of time while I prep the vegetables.

Heat 1 tbsp Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the outside is nicely browned. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean and set aside for later.

👨‍🍳 Step 2: Prepare the Crunchy Vegetables

While the chicken cooks, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups Iceberg Lettuce, 1 cup Red Cabbage, 1 cup Carrots, and 0.5 cup Cucumber. The crunch from these fresh vegetables is essential to this dish, so make sure they’re cut into thin, uniform pieces.

I like to julienne the carrots and thinly slice the cabbage to match the crisp texture of the lettuce. For the cucumber, thin slices work best. Having everything ready to go before assembling the wraps makes the process smooth and efficient.

🥘 Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Warm the 4 whole Tortilla Wraps by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. This makes them more pliable and easier to roll. Lay a warmed tortilla flat on your work surface.

Spread about 2 tablespoons of 0.5 cup Asian-Style Sauce down the center of the tortilla, leaving some space at the edges. Add a portion of the cooked chicken, followed by a generous helping of the vegetable mixture. Drizzle with 0.25 cup Sriracha Mayo and sprinkle with 0.25 cup Cilantro, 0.25 cup Green Onions, and 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds. Fold the bottom edge up, then the sides, and roll tightly.

👨‍🍳 Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Slice the wraps in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm and the vegetables are crisp. I like to serve these with additional Asian-Style Sauce and Sriracha Mayo on the side for extra flavor.

The combination of tender chicken, crunchy vegetables, and creamy sauce wrapped in a soft tortilla creates a perfect harmony of textures and flavors. This dish is sure to become a favorite in your household, just like it is at Costco.

Best Sauces and Condiments for costco asian chicken wrap

Signature Sauce Options

The Asian-Style Sauce is the star of this dish. I recommend using La Choy or Kikkoman for authentic flavor. For a spicy kick, add 1-2 tsp sriracha to your sauce. You can also mix in 1 tbsp honey for a sweeter profile.

Mayo Magic

Sriracha Mayo adds a creamy, spicy element. Make your own by mixing 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1-2 tsp sriracha. Adjust the heat to your liking. For a lighter version, try using Greek yogurt as a base instead.

Ginger Soy Alternative

Create a ginger soy sauce by combining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp grated ginger, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. This adds depth and a bit of spice. You can also add 1 tsp sesame oil for extra flavor.

Peanut Sauce Twist

For a creamy, nutty flavor, try a peanut sauce. Mix 1/2 cup peanut butter with 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Add 1 tsp grated ginger for extra zing.
