Balsamic Chicken Goat Cheese Wraps
Description
The chicken is marinated briefly in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, honey, whole-grain mustard, and garlic, which imparts sweet and tangy flavors while keeping the meat moist. Pan-searing the chicken in canola oil cooks it through while caramelizing the glaze slightly. Once cooked, the chicken is sliced thinly for easy wrapping.
The wraps are assembled using large tortillas filled with a combination of peppery arugula, chewy dried cranberries, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy chopped pecans, creating a variety of textures and flavors in each bite. A drizzle of balsamic glaze adds an additional sweet-tart layer that complements the marinated chicken.
These wraps can be served at room temperature or cold, making them convenient for packed lunches or casual meals. The ingredients come together quickly and provide a flavorful, satisfying handheld option that balances freshness and rich components.
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 3 chicken breast boneless-skinless
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions
To make the chicken:
- Add the chicken, balsamic vinegar, honey, whole grain mustard, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper to a bowl and mix well. Let sit for ten minutes.

To assemble the wraps:
- To each tortilla add 1/4 of the arugula, chicken, cranberries, goat cheese, pecans and balsamic glaze.
