# Recipe Steps:

01 - Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. Arrange three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko combined with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken strips by dredging first in flour, then egg, and finally the panko mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
02 - Whisk together plain Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
03 - Warm the flour 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. Place warm crispy chicken strips on top and sprinkle with approximately 2 teaspoons of crushed peppermint candy cane for a festive crunch.
04 - Roll up each wrap tightly, cut in half, and serve immediately.
