Chicken Salad and Havarti Cheese Wrap
  • prep 20 mins
  • total time 25 mins
  • servings 2

Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half (6 to 8 ounces)

  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise

  • 1/2 shallot, minced (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

  • 2 spinach-flavored sandwich wraps (12-inch)

  • 6 thin slices Havarti cheese (about 2 ounces total)

  • 1 cup baby spinach, washed and dried

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In a small skillet with a lid, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil. Add chicken. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat, 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let steam, still covered, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes; remove chicken. When cool enough to handle, thinly slice crosswise.

  2. Step 2

    While chicken is cooking, stir together mayonnaise, shallot (if using), mustard, vinegar, and thyme in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add chicken, and toss to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Lay sandwich wraps on a work surface. Leaving a 1-inch border all around, layer with cheese, spinach, then chicken mixture.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in sides by about 1 inch, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Wrap each tightly in plastic or waxed paper. Refrigerate up to 1 day.

    Delicious! I've made these twice and enjoyed them. Lots of flavor, and easy to take and enjoy the next day.

    Pretty good chicken salad wrap, Havarti adds a creaminess that provolone and cheddar do not have.

    That said, the dressing for the chicken salad is very thyme-forward, I might add less thyme next time. Shallot thyme = you may need a breathmint afterward!

    I would recommend pairing this wrap with a salad that has milder, fresh flavors (maybe a lemony vinaigrette?) I made the Minestrone Salad recipe to have as a side, and the balsamic was too strong and clashed with the thyme chicken.
