A quick and easy honey mustard chicken wrap featuring tender chicken, crisp apples, and fresh greens, perfect for a healthy and satisfying lunchbox meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced (leftover roast chicken works perfectly)
  • 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large crisp apple, thinly sliced (Gala or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • Handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens
  • Optional: thinly sliced red onion or cucumber

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (if using), and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust sweetness or tang as preferred. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Thinly slice or shred 8 ounces of cooked chicken breast. Core and thinly slice 1 large crisp apple into matchstick-sized pieces or thin wedges. Keep apple slices in a small bowl to avoid browning. (7-8 minutes)
  3. Optional: Warm the chicken gently in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or microwave for 30 seconds covered with a damp paper towel.
  4. Lay out 4 large tortillas or wraps. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of honey mustard sauce evenly over each wrap, leaving a small border around edges. Layer with shredded chicken, fresh spinach or mixed greens, and apple slices. Add red onion or cucumber if desired. (8-10 minutes)
  5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from one end to the other, keeping filling snug. Wrap each wrap in parchment paper or kitchen towel to keep fresh. (3-4 minutes)

Notes

Pat apple slices dry if very juicy to prevent sogginess. Do not overload wraps for easier eating. Sauce and apples can be prepared the night before; store apples with lemon juice to keep crisp. Warm chicken gently to avoid drying out. Wrap tightly but gently to keep filling intact.
