🛒 Simple Ingredients You’ll Need

- Crispy Chicken Tenders: Use your favorite brand or make your own. For an even lighter version, try grilled or oven-baked chicken tenders.
- Provolone Cheese: Melty and mild, but you can sub in Swiss, cheddar, mozzarella, or even spreadable cream cheese.
- Bacon: Optional but delicious. Cook ahead of time and store in the fridge.
- Lettuce: Curly green leaf lettuce or romaine give that crunchy bite.
- Veggies: Julienned carrots and thinly sliced cucumbers are my go-to, but bell peppers, onions, or spinach work too.
- Dill Pickle Chips: For that tangy crunch.
- Green Onions: Add a fresh zip of flavor.
- For the Creamy Honey Mustard Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional for tang)
- ½ teaspoon sriracha (optional for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
🔪 How to Make the Best Honey Mustard Chicken Wrap
Pin it
- Step 1: Whisk the Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar (if using), sriracha, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning. This sauce is the star—so don’t skip it!
- Step 2: Toss the Salad
- In a larger bowl, mix your lettuce, carrots, cucumbers (or any veggies you’re using) with about half of the honey mustard dressing. Toss until lightly coated.
- Step 3: Cook the Chicken
- If using frozen crispy tenders, air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway. You can also bake them in the oven or grill for a healthier twist. Once cooked, slice into strips for easier rolling.
- Step 4: Assemble the Wrap
- Warm your tortilla in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make it pliable. Spread a spoonful of the honey mustard sauce down the center. Layer with two slices of provolone cheese. Add chopped bacon, a generous scoop of the tossed veggie mix, 2–3 crispy chicken strips, pickle chips, and green onions. Drizzle with extra sauce if you like it saucy.
- Step 5: Wrap and Toast
- Fold in the short sides, then roll up tightly into a burrito. Heat a skillet over medium heat, brush with a bit of olive oil. Place the wrap seam side down and cook for 30–60 seconds per side until golden and crisp. Repeat the steps for any additional wraps. This recipe makes two large wraps but can easily be doubled.
🔁 Expert Tips & Variations
- Use large tortillas: They make rolling easier and help prevent breakage.
- Toast seam-side down first: This seals the wrap and keeps it from falling apart.
- Make it spicy: Add more sriracha to the sauce or sprinkle in red pepper flakes.
- Switch it up: Try shredded rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken breast, or even oven-roasted thighs.
- More veggie options: Red bell peppers, red onion slices, baby spinach, or avocado slices are great additions.
- For a wrap-free option: Toss everything into a big salad bowl for a honey mustard chicken salad.

❄️ Make-Ahead, Storage & Meal Prep
- Make-Ahead: Prep the sauce, cook the chicken, and slice the veggies ahead of time. Store separately in airtight containers.
- Store: Assembled wraps are best fresh, but you can store them (un-toasted) wrapped in foil or parchment for 1–2 days.
- Reheat: Toast the wrap in a skillet to refresh and crisp it up.
- Freeze: Not recommended due to fresh veggies and sauce—but cooked chicken strips can be frozen for easy use later.
