Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps

2 cups mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, or your choice)

1/2 cup fresh feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans. Mix gently to combine all ingredients uniformly.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Make sure there are no lumps.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated with the yogurt dressing. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each tortilla or wrap on a clean, flat surface. In the center of each wrap, place a generous handful of mixed greens, followed by an ample portion of the cranberry pecan chicken mixture.

          Add Cheese and Herbs: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs over the chicken mixture to enhance the flavor profile of the wraps.

            Wrap It Up: Carefully roll each wrap tightly, starting from one end and gently tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Once wrapped, slice each wrap in half diagonally with a sharp knife for easier handling.

              Serve: Arrange the wraps on a serving platter. You can serve them immediately for a fresh meal, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a convenient picnic or meal prep option.
