Instructions
Cook the Chicken:
Season the Chicken:
Rub the chicken breasts or thighs with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.Cook the Chicken:
- Grill Method: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Stovetop Method: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Slice the Chicken:
Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Make the Honey Mustard Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tanginess as desired.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
- Spread a generous layer of the honey mustard sauce on each tortilla.
- Layer with shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cheese, and red onion. Top with sliced chicken.
- Drizzle additional honey mustard sauce over the fillings if desired.
Wrap and Serve:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. Slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and a tablespoon of honey mustard sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- You can swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version of the honey mustard sauce.
