- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded

- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup diced celery

Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the chicken breast by grilling, baking, or poaching it until fully cooked. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until well combined.
- Add the shredded chicken, diced celery, diced red onion, chopped fresh basil, and sun-dried tomatoes to the dressing. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Assembly
- Lay out the whole-wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Place a handful of mixed baby greens in the center of each.
- Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture over the greens. Be sure to distribute evenly across all tortillas.
- Carefully roll each tortilla into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to ensure the filling stays secure. Once rolled, slice each wrap in half diagonally.
Serving
- Arrange the wraps on a serving platter. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later.
Storage
- Wrap each chicken salad wrap individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
