  • Total Time: 24 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps

Ingredients

– 2 large chicken breasts

– 1 cup good quality BBQ sauce

– 1 heaped teaspoon smoked paprika

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

– olive oil

– 1 large carrot grated

– 1/4 red cabbage finely sliced

– 1/4 green/white cabbage finely sliced

– 1/2 medium white onion finely sliced; can substitute with green/spring onion

– 4 tablespoons full-fat mayo

– 1 tablespoon sour cream

– 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

– 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

– 1/2 teaspoon sugar

– salt and black pepper to taste

– 4 large white flour tortilla wraps

– 4 small handfuls spinach or greens of choice

Instructions

1-First Step: Prep and Marinate: Alright, let’s dive in and get those ingredients ready it’s easier than you think! Start by gathering everything: your chicken breasts, cabbage, carrots, mayo, BBQ sauce, tortillas, and seasonings. Butterfly the 2 large chicken breasts to create four even pieces and coat them with 1 heaped teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, flip, and brush on 1 cup good quality BBQ sauce. Keep cooking for a few more minutes until done, then remove, place sauce-side down, brush with more sauce, and rest for 5 minutes. Slice diagonally against the grain for tender pieces. This step takes about 10 minutes of prep, and you can let it marinate if you have time.

2-Second Step: Make the Slaw: While the chicken rests, whip up the coleslaw to add that fresh crunch. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons full-fat mayo, 1 tablespoon sour cream, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt and black pepper to taste. In a larger bowl, combine 1 large grated carrot, 1/4 finely sliced red cabbage, 1/4 finely sliced green/white cabbage, and 1/2 medium finely sliced white onion.

Mix the dressing with the vegetables thoroughly for a tangy side that balances the smoky chicken. This only takes 5-10 minutes and adds a burst of vitamins to your meal.

3-Third Step: Warm and Assemble Tortillas: Now, warm your 4 large white flour tortilla wraps on a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side to make them pliable. Lay out a tortilla, add 1 small handful of spinach or greens in the center, top with some slaw, and then pile on the sliced BBQ chicken.

Fold or roll as desired for a neat wrap. The total prep time is about 16 minutes, cook time around 8 minutes, and you’re serving 4 wraps in just 24 minutes total.
