Description

These Balsamic Chicken Goat Cheese Wraps combine tender, marinated chicken breasts with tangy balsamic vinegar, honey, and whole-grain mustard, complemented by fresh arugula, dried cranberries, creamy goat cheese, crunchy pecans, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, all wrapped in a soft tortilla for a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors, making an easy and elegant meal great for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

For the Wraps:

  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
  • 4 large tortillas

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with balsamic vinegar, honey, whole-grain mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice golden color. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  3. Slice the Chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and slice into 1/4 inch thick pieces, ready for assembling the wraps.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each tortilla and evenly distribute 1/4 of the arugula, sliced chicken, dried cranberries, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped pecans on top. Drizzle each wrap with balsamic glaze to add a sweet tangy finish.
  5. Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly like a burrito to secure the fillings inside.
  6. Serve: These wraps can be enjoyed immediately at room temperature or chilled for a cold, refreshing option.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 1 hour if time permits.
  • Substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • The balsamic glaze can be homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar and a touch of honey until thickened.
  • Leftovers can be wrapped tightly in foil and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
