Ingredients
- 1.25 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.25 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 large ripe peaches
- 6 oz fresh mozzarella
- 1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes
- 3/4 cup leaves fresh basil
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp hot honey
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 3 cups baby spinach
Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- 2Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook undisturbed until the underside is golden brown, about 6 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear, another 5 to 7 minutes depending on thickness.
- 3Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes so the juices redistribute. While it rests, pit the peaches and dice them into 1/2-inch pieces. Tear or cube the fresh mozzarella and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- 4Chop or shred the rested chicken into bite-size pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the diced peaches, mozzarella, halved tomatoes, and most of the torn basil leaves.
- 5In a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and half of the hot honey until smooth and lightly sweet-spicy. Taste and add a pinch more salt if needed.
- 6Pour the creamy dressing over the chicken-peach mixture and fold gently until everything is evenly coated and glossy. The peaches will release a little juice that loosens the salad perfectly.
- 7Warm the tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20 to 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted, or wrap the stack in a damp paper towel and microwave 20 seconds.
- 8Lay each warm tortilla flat and scatter baby spinach down the center. Spoon a generous portion of the peach-caprese chicken salad on top of the greens.
- 9Drizzle the remaining hot honey over the filling, add a few extra basil leaves, then fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito-style wrap. Slice each wrap in half on the bias if desired.
- 10Serve immediately while the tortilla is still soft, or wrap tightly in parchment and refrigerate for grab-and-go school or office lunches; they hold well for up to 24 hours.
