Honey Mustard Chicken Wrap Key Ingredients
- Chicken Thighs: I use thighs because they stay juicier and more flavorful than breasts, thanks to their slightly higher fat content.
- Greek Yogurt: The secret to a healthy honey mustard sauce that's creamy yet light. Its tang pairs perfectly with Dijon.
- Dijon Mustard: Essential for the best honey mustard flavor, sharper and more complex than yellow mustard.
- Raw Honey: Adds natural sweetness.
- Fresh Garlic: Raw garlic gives the sauce a bold punch you can't get from garlic powder.
Substitutions & Variations
- Low-Fat Option: Lighten it up by swapping bacon for turkey bacon and using chicken breasts instead of thighs.
- Dairy-Free: Make it dairy-free by using a plant-based yogurt in your honey mustard sauce and choosing dairy-free cheese.
- Gluten-Free: Simply use a certified gluten-free wrap to turn this into a fully gluten-free chicken wrap.
- Vegan-Friendly Sauce: Make it vegan by using a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
- Spicy Kick: Add heat by mixing sriracha or cayenne into the honey mustard sauce, or layer in pickled jalapeños.
- Breakfast Version: Turn it into a breakfast wrap and add scrambled eggs and creamy avocado.
- Low-Carb Option: Skip the tortilla completely and serve everything over a bed of crisp lettuce.
How To Make Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps
- Step 1: Season chicken thighs with paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until they reach 165°F and get a nice char. Rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly so the chicken stays juicy.
- Step 2: Bake the bacon at 400°F for about 15 minutes until crisp. Let it drain on paper towels, then break into pieces for easy layering.
- Step 3: Pat your romaine completely dry, then slice carrots, cucumbers, avocado, and pickles into thin strips. Set out any extras like pickled onions so all the chicken wrap fillings are ready to go.
- Step 4: Blend Greek yogurt, Parmesan, Dijon, honey, garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and salt until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sauce, sweeten with more honey, or add extra mustard for tang.
- Step 5: Lay out your tortillas and spread a generous layer of honey mustard sauce down the center. Add romaine, then pile on the chicken wrap fillings: the veggies, bacon, and sliced chicken. Drizzle a little more sauce over everything for the perfect bite.
- Step 6: Fold in the sides, roll tightly from the bottom, and slice on a diagonal angle. This keeps the wrap secure and gives you that clean, café-style wrap look.

Expert Tips
- Let the Chicken Rest: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking before slicing to keep it juicy.
- Warm the Tortilla: Toast briefly so the tortilla is flexible & won't tear.
- Sauce: Keep honey mustard sauce around about 2-3 tbsp. per wrap to avoid sogginess.
- Slice Correctly: Cut chicken against the grain for tenderness.
- Storage: Store components separately in meal prep containers, then assemble when you're ready to eat for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
The key is creating barriers. Place romaine lettuce directly against the tortilla to block moisture from the sauce and vegetables. Store wet ingredients like tomatoes or extra sauce separately until ready to eat. Pat all vegetables completely dry before assembling.
A snack wrap is typically smaller (using 8-inch tortillas), has less filling, and is designed as a lighter option. This chicken wrap uses larger 10-12 inch tortillas with more substantial chicken wrap fillings, making it a complete meal rather than a snack.
Yes! I use certified gluten-free tortillas. Be sure to verify that your Dijon mustard and Italian seasoning are gluten-free (most are, but always check labels).
They typically include grilled chicken, greens, and fresh veggies such as carrots, cucumbers, and pickles. Add something savory like crispy bacon or roasted veggies, then drizzle generously with creamy honey mustard sauce. You can customize it with extras like avocado, cheese, or pickled onions to make it even more flavorful.
