Preparation

1. 1.
   In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. 2.
   Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. 3.
   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
4. 4.
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice to create the zesty sauce.
5. 5.
   Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
6. 6.
   To assemble the wraps, spread a generous amount of the zesty sauce onto each tortilla. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, sliced bell peppers, and the grilled chicken strips.
7. 7.
   Roll up the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chicken breasts — Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly coated with the marinade for maximum flavor. If desired, you can pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating to ensure even cooking.
• Tortillas — Warm the tortillas before assembling the wraps to make them more pliable and easier to roll.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
• Customize the wrap by adding avocado slices or crispy bacon.
• If you prefer a lighter version, you can use whole wheat or spinach tortillas.
• To make it a complete meal, serve the wraps with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad.
• Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and used in salads or sandwiches.

Serving advice

Serve the Homestyle Chicken Wraps as a main course for lunch or dinner. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a side dish or salad.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, cut the wraps diagonally and arrange them on a platter with a garnish of fresh herbs. Serve with a side of the zesty sauce for dipping.
