Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (toasted for extra flavor)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup mixed greens or lettuce (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Shred or dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and mixed greens (if using).
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-combined.
- Combine: Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately or wrap tightly for meal prep.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, you can add some celery or apple slices to the salad.
- If you’re meal prepping, wrap the individual servings in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days.
- You can also serve the chicken salad on a bed of greens for a lighter, low-carb option.
