Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup lemonade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- teaspoon garlic powder

Directions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the chicken, lemonade, olive oil, lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and bay leaf. Simmer the mixture for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.

- Allow each person to assemble their own wraps by filling a tortilla with chicken and adding the desired toppings, creating a personalized flavor experience.
