Havarti, a mild semisoft cheese from Denmark, makes this chicken-filled wrap super creamy. By assembling the wraps with layers of ingredients, you're guaranteed to get chicken, cheese, and spinach in every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

Cook's Notes

Minced shallot adds crunch and sharpness to the dressing.

I felt the dijon was over powering. I was making test batches for party sandwiches. I doubled the thyme, and used one-fourth the dijon, and a little onion powder in the dressing. This improved the chicken salad. I used shallots. I used dill Havarti and plain, both were good.

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.
