Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps

These Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps are perfect for a quick and flavorful meal any day of the week. The chicken is seasoned with a simple homemade blend and cooked just right on the stovetop. A creamy honey mustard sauce brings everything together, making these wraps a lunch or dinner option that never gets old. They come together in about 20 minutes, making them ideal when you want something satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen.

I first made these on a busy weeknight when I needed something quick and tasty. Now my whole family asks for these wraps regularly, especially my husband who sneaks chicken bites as I’m cooking.

Ingredients

• Dry mustard powder: This is key for that classic honey mustard flavor. I use Colman’s mustard powder because its flavor is bold and authentic. If you buy it look for a small yellow rectangular tin near other spices
• Brown sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness and balances the tang of the mustard. Use packed brown sugar to keep measurements consistent
• Salt: Essential for enhancing all the flavors in the chicken seasoning
• Black pepper: Adds mild heat and depth. Freshly ground is best for flavor
• Garlic salt: Gives a subtle savory note without overpowering the mix
• Boneless skinless chicken breasts: Cut into bite-sized chunks so they cook evenly and quickly
• Olive oil: Allows the chicken to brown nicely without sticking
• Yellow mustard: Combines with honey to create the sauce’s signature tang and sweetness
• Honey: Adds natural sweetness to the sauce; choose a good quality honey for best taste
• Plain nonfat Greek yogurt: Brings creaminess and a bit of tang while keeping the sauce light
• Light mayonnaise: Helps balance the yogurt and honey for a creamy, smooth sauce
• Light carb tortillas or wraps: Use your favorite brand. The ones I used are La Banderita Carb Counter Whole Wheat Wraps, which are soft and hold ingredients well
• Green leaf lettuce: Adds fresh crispness and a pop of color
• Medium tomato: Thinly sliced tomato provides juiciness and a mild acidity

Instructions

Spoon and coat the chicken:

Mix dry mustard powder brown sugar salt black pepper and garlic salt in a small dish. Place your bite-sized chicken pieces in a gallon size plastic bag or a bowl. Add the spice mixture and seal or stir well until every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.

Cook the chicken:

Heat olive oil in a large saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering hot add the coated chicken pieces making sure not to crowd the pan. Let the chicken sit untouched for a couple minutes to brown then stir occasionally over five to eight minutes. The goal is to have nicely browned chicken cooked through and juicy. Remove from heat.

Mix the honey mustard sauce:

In a small bowl combine yellow mustard honey plain nonfat Greek yogurt and light mayonnaise. Stir vigorously until smooth and creamy with no lumps. This sauce is the perfect creamy tangy finish for your wraps.

Build your wraps:

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place one to two green leaf lettuce leaves down the center followed by one to two slices of tomato stacked in a line. Drizzle about one tablespoon of the honey mustard sauce over the tomato. Spoon about three and a quarter ounces or one quarter of the chicken on top of the sauce. Fold in the tortilla ends at each side of the filling and then roll tightly to enclose everything inside.

Serve and store:

Repeat the wrapping process for the remaining ingredients to make a total of four wraps. Cut each wrap in half if desired and serve. If you plan to eat later store the chicken sauce and vegetables separately and assemble the wraps fresh.

This recipe embodies why I love cooking chicken bites so much. My husband took a bite while I was prepping and said oh wow. And honestly once you try this dry mustard powder seasoning you will understand why it stands out as a favorite of mine.

Storage Tips

Store leftover chicken sauce lettuce and tomato separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The cooked chicken keeps well for up to four days. Wrap the tortillas in foil or plastic wrap and store at room temperature if you plan to eat within a day or two or freeze for longer storage. Assemble freshly for best texture when reheating.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap out yellow mustard with Dijon mustard for a spicier tang or use a honey mustard dressing if you prefer a shortcut in the sauce. Light mayonnaise can be replaced with either avocado or additional Greek yogurt to make it even healthier. Use gluten free or regular tortillas based on your preference without affecting the core flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Try serving these wraps with a side of crunchy carrot sticks or cucumber slices for a fresh contrast. A small salad tossed with a vinaigrette brightens the meal. If you want something warm a sweet potato fries or roasted potatoes work perfectly.

These wraps are quick and easy to customize for any meal. They make a great meal prep option and a family friendly dinner.
