Ingredients
- 4–5 large wraps (tortillas)
- 4 chicken breasts, sliced into strips (500-600g)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 cups lettuce / leafy greens
- 3 grated carrots
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds, toasted (see note)
- Honey Mustard Dressing
- 1/3 cup Greek yoghurt
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
- Prepare the salad filling: Add chopped lettuce, grated carrots and toasted sunflower seeds to a bowl and mix to combine.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and paprika and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon juice as well as salt and freshly cracked black pepper and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- Assemble: Spread a tablespoon or so of Honey Mustard dressing on the tortilla/ wrap, then add 6-8 strips of chicken. Add a liberal layer of salad on top of that and then dress with another helping o dressing. Yum!!
- Fold the short edges of the wrap first then the longer edges. Eat as is or toast the wraps! In a pan over medium heat, place half a teaspoon of butter or oil and place the wrap in the pan and heat until browned. Repeat on the other side until browned.
Notes
- To toast sunflower seeds, simply add them to a pan and turn the heat to medium. Brown them for 2-3 minutes. They brown quickly so keep an eye on them! You can use a splash of olive oil in the pan if you like but they brown equally well without oil.
- This recipe represents a very simplified version of Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps. You can jazz them up with mature cheddar, strips of crispy bacon, extra veggies and even pickles!
