Ingredients
Main Ingredients for Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Additional vegetables and toppings (optional)
Marinade Components:
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Tortillas and Fillings:
4 large whole wheat tortillas
1 cup mixed greens (spinach, kale, arugula)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This creates a sweet, tangy, and flavorful marinade for the chicken. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook it for 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F. Brush the leftover marinade onto the chicken as it cooks. Let the chicken rest before slicing it into thin strips.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay each tortilla flat and add a layer of mixed greens in the center. Next, layer shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and the sliced chicken strips. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom.
Serve:
Slice the wraps in half diagonally for easy serving. Serve with extra honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
Cooking Tips:
To keep the chicken juicy, cook it on medium heat and avoid overcooking. A meat thermometer is key to ensuring it reaches 165°F. Let the chicken rest after cooking to redistribute juices.
Serving Suggestions:
These wraps pair wonderfully with sweet potato fries, a light salad, or dips like ranch or tzatziki. Add more veggies like bell peppers or avocado slices to boost texture and nutrition.
Flavor Enhancements:
Kick up the flavor by adding cumin or chili powder to the marinade. Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can add brightness. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or less vinegar. A splash of hot sauce can add a spicy twist.
