# How to Make It:

01 - Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko mixed with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat chicken strips by dredging in flour, then egg, followed by panko mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry chicken strips for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
02 - Combine Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
03 - Warm the tortillas slightly to increase pliability. Spread a generous spoonful of yogurt dressing over each tortilla. Layer with baby spinach, shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned cucumber. Top with warm, crispy chicken strips. Sprinkle approximately 2 teaspoons of crushed peppermint candy cane over the chicken for added festive crunch.
04 - Roll each wrap tightly, cut in half, and serve immediately.
