  • Author: Rayne
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts: These provide the lean protein for your wraps. You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer a juicier cut.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil: For marinating and cooking the chicken.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder: Adds a savory depth of flavor to the chicken.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder: Enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika: For a subtle smoky undertone.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste.

Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • ¼ cup honey: The natural sweetness that forms the base of the sauce.
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard: Offers a tangy kick and smooth texture to the sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise: Adds creaminess and helps to thicken the sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar: Provides an extra layer of tang to balance the sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice: To brighten the sauce and enhance the flavors.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste.

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas: These serve as the base for the wraps and provide fiber. You can use any type of tortilla you like.
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded: Adds a refreshing crunch and some green freshness.
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced: Brings a cool crunch that complements the warm chicken.
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced: For added juiciness and a touch of freshness.
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced: Adds a bit of sharpness and color.
  • Optional garnishes: Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra flavor and decoration.

Optional Sides:

  • Sweet potato fries: Crispy and sweet fries make the perfect side for this dish.
  • A simple green salad: Serve with a light vinaigrette for a healthy side option.

Instructions

First Step: MARINATE THE CHICKEN

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes. For even more flavor, you can marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The chicken should be golden brown on the outside and juicy on the inside. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Second Step: MAKE THE HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

  1. Combine the Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper as needed.
  2. Set Aside: Once the sauce is well-mixed and smooth, set it aside. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a little more mayonnaise or reduce the sauce by simmering it in a saucepan for a few minutes.

Third Step: PREPARE THE WRAPS

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is grilling, prepare your vegetables. Shred the lettuce, slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion into thin pieces.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side, or warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.

Fourth Step: ASSEMBLE THE WRAPS

  1. Spread the Sauce: Lay one warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Drizzle a generous amount of honey mustard sauce down the center of the tortilla.
  2. Add the Chicken: Place a few strips of grilled chicken on top of the sauce.
  3. Layer the Vegetables: Add the shredded lettuce, cucumber slices, tomato, and red onion on top of the chicken. You can also add any other vegetables you enjoy, such as bell peppers or avocado.
  4. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Make sure the wrap is secure so it doesn’t fall apart when you cut it.

Final Step: SERVE AND ENJOY

  1. Slice and Serve: Cut the wraps in half on the diagonal to make them easier to eat and serve them on a platter. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added touch of color and flavor.
  2. Pair with Sides: Serve your Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps with your choice of side dishes, like sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad, for a complete meal.
