Recipe Instructions:
-
In a large bowl of water, soak the scallions until you’re ready to cook.
-
-
In a small bowl, combine the reduced sodium soy sauce, plum jam, reduced sodium ketchup, rice vinegar, and five-spice powder. This flavorful mixture will be the essence of our marinade and sauce.
-
Now, let’s prep the chicken! Transfer 1/2 cup of the plum jam mixture into a measuring cup. Take the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and generously spread this delightful mixture onto each breast. This step infuses the chicken with a medley of flavors that will make your taste buds dance with joy. Set the chicken aside for marination.
-
With the remaining plum jam mixture, we’re going to prep our tortillas. Spread one side of each 8-inch flour tortilla generously with this sauce, creating a flavorful base for our Moo Shu-style masterpiece. Set these saucy tortillas aside for now.
-
It’s time to fire up the grill! Preheat your grill to a medium heat, getting it nice and toasty for that perfect char.
-
While the grill is heating up, ensure your rack is ready. Give it a quick spray with nonstick cooking spray, so nothing sticks to our beautifully grilled chicken and tortillas.
-
Now, let’s get grilling! Place the marinated chicken breasts and soaked scallions on the grill. Cover and let them sizzle away for about 3 minutes, or until the scallions are beautifully cooked, giving them a quick flip halfway through. Continue grilling the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and beautifully charred.
-
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and set it aside to rest. Now, place those saucy tortillas, jam-side up, on the grill. Let them warm through for about 20 seconds, allowing the flavors to meld together and the tortillas to get that perfect touch of char.
-
With the chicken nicely rested, it’s time to slice! Thinly slice the grilled chicken breasts on the diagonal, creating elegant and juicy strips of goodness.
-
Assemble your Moo Shu-style wraps! Dividing everything evenly, place the sliced chicken, grilled scallions, and strips of red bell pepper on the jam-side of each tortilla. This colorful array of ingredients is not only pleasing to the eye but promises a symphony of flavors in every bite.
-
Finally, it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor! Place two of these delectable Moo Shu-style filled tortillas on each of 4 plates. Serve them open-face for a beautiful presentation or roll them up for a delightful handheld treat. Either way, get ready to savor the flavors of this amazing dish!
Serving Suggestions:
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor and a touch of elegance.
- Serve alongside steamed jasmine rice or crunchy Asian slaw for a complete and satisfying meal.
