Chicken Salad Wraps with Honey-Yogurt Sauce

Here’s one of the quickest, easiest casual dinners or lunches you can put together—fresh and flavorful too. The key is the sauce for the wraps: cool, creamy, tangy Greek-style yogurt, sweet clover honey, and just a touch of white balsamic vinegar to brighten it. A little salt and pepper and you’re done. Yes, you can purchase honey-flavored yogurt but making it fresh is too simple to opt for store bought.

Lean chicken breast, vegetables, nuts, and fruit make the chicken salad not only tasty but light and nutritious too. Instead of buying cooked chicken, take just a little time to cook it yourself. Simply cut about three quarters of a pound of boneless, skinless breast into large chunks, simmer it in chicken broth for about 20 minutes, and transfer the pieces to a plate. When cool, shred the meat and you’re ready to make your salad.
