Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Set up three bowls one with flour one with beaten eggs and one with panko mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken strips first in flour, then egg, then panko mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken strips for 34 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm tortillas slightly for pliability. Lay out each tortilla and spread with a generous spoonful of yogurt dressing. Layer with spinach, cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and cucumber. Top with warm crispy chicken strips. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of crushed peppermint candy cane over the chicken for a festive crunch.
- Roll up each wrap tightly, cut in half, and serve immediately.
