Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Shred 2 cups of cooked chicken breast into a large bowl.

Pro tip: Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.

Mix the Filling

Add 1 cup of dried cranberries and 2 cups of fresh spinach leaves to the bowl with chicken. Stir to combine.

Pro tip: Chop spinach roughly if leaves are large.

Prepare the Spread

In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of softened cream cheese with 1 tbsp of honey mustard until smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.

Season the Filling

Season the chicken mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

Pro tip: Adjust seasoning according to preference.

Assemble the Wraps

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla wrap.

Pro tip: Leave a little space around the edges to prevent overflow.

Fill and Roll

Place a generous amount of the chicken mixture in the centre of each wrap. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.

Pro tip: For a crisper wrap, lightly toast on a skillet before serving.
