# Method:
01 - Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. Set up three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko combined with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat each chicken strip sequentially in flour, egg, then panko mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
03 - Lightly warm tortillas to increase pliability. Spread each with a generous spoonful of yogurt dressing. Layer evenly with baby spinach, shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, red bell pepper slices, and julienned cucumber. Top with warm crispy chicken strips and sprinkle roughly 2 teaspoons of crushed peppermint candy over the chicken for festive crunch.
04 - Roll each wrap tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately for optimal freshness and texture.
