These Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps bring together tender chicken bites coated in a flavorful homemade brown sugar mustard seasoning with a creamy honey mustard sauce, all wrapped up with fresh lettuce and tomato. Perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner, this recipe strikes a balance between savory and sweet while being easy enough to prepare any day of the week.

I first made these wraps on a busy weeknight and loved how fast everything came together. Now they are a staple in our house when I want something satisfying but not heavy.

Ingredients

  • Two teaspoons dry mustard powder: This adds a sharp warm flavor and using Colman’s brand gives the best punch so look for that if you can
  • One teaspoon packed brown sugar: This balances the savory spices with a touch of sweetness
  • Half teaspoon salt: Essential to bring out the flavors of the chicken and seasoning
  • Quarter teaspoon black pepper: Adds just a hint of heat to complement the mustard
  • Quarter teaspoon garlic salt: Gives a savory depth and you can adjust this to taste but it really rounds out the seasoning
  • One pound raw boneless skinless chicken breasts: Cut into small bite sized pieces so they cook evenly and quickly I like fresh chicken breasts without additives
  • One tablespoon olive oil: For sauteing the chicken and helping the seasoning stick while adding healthy fats
  • Four teaspoons yellow mustard: This is part of the honey mustard sauce and gives a bright tangy base
  • One tablespoon honey: Sweetness to balance the mustard in the sauce I prefer raw or organic honey for flavor
  • One tablespoon plain nonfat Greek yogurt: Adds creaminess and a slight tang to the sauce while keeping it light
  • One tablespoon light mayonnaise: Rounds out the sauce with a smooth texture without being heavy
  • Four light or low carb tortillas: These wraps hold everything nicely and a whole wheat version adds fiber
  • Four to eight green leaf lettuce leaves: Fresh and crisp for a cool contrast in the wraps
  • One medium tomato thinly sliced: Adds juiciness and freshness to balance the chicken and sauce

Instructions

Spoon one Make the chicken seasoning:
Blend together the dry mustard powder brown sugar salt pepper and garlic salt in a small bowl or directly in a plastic sealable bag. Add the cut up chicken pieces and thoroughly toss or massage until all the pieces are well coated with the spice mix. This step is key to infuse the chicken with flavor and keep it moist.
Spoon two Cook the chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan or skillet over mediumhigh heat. Once the oil is hot add the chicken pieces carefully so they don’t crowd the pan. Give the chicken time to brown on one side for about three minutes before stirring. Cook the chicken for a total of five to eight minutes stirring every couple of minutes until fully cooked and browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spoon three Prepare the honey mustard sauce:
In a small bowl combine the yellow mustard honey Greek yogurt and light mayonnaise. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This sauce ties together the savory chicken and fresh veggies beautifully.
Spoon four Assemble the wraps:
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place one to two leaves of green leaf lettuce and then one to two thin tomato slices in a line down the center. Drizzle one tablespoon of the honey mustard sauce over the veggies. Add about three and a quarter ounces of the cooked chicken on top of the sauce. Keeping everything centered fold the edges of the tortilla inward at either end and roll tightly to encase the filling. Repeat this process for the remaining ingredients to make four wraps. Slice each wrap into halves before serving if desired.

Dry mustard powder is a game changer in this recipe It adds a warm almost sharp flavor that makes the chicken seasoning exceptional. I remember the first time my husband tried the chicken bites straight from the pan and his eyes lit up. This seasoning made me realize how important a good spice blend is to really elevate simple chicken.

Storage Tips

Store any cooked chicken and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. This will keep the chicken moist and the sauce fresh. When ready to eat just spread the sauce and chicken on the wraps with fresh veggies for the best texture. Avoid wrapping everything ahead of time if you want your lettuce to stay crisp.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you do not have dry mustard powder you can experiment with Dijon mustard or spicy mustard powder but beware the flavor will be slightly different. Brown sugar can be replaced with coconut sugar for a more natural sweetness or left out altogether if you prefer less sweet. The light mayonnaise can be swapped with extra Greek yogurt if you want to keep things lighter.

Serving Suggestions

These wraps pair wonderfully with a side of crunchy carrot sticks or a simple mixed green salad for a light meal. For a little extra indulgence add sliced avocado inside the wrap or serve with a yogurt based ranch dressing on the side.
