1-First Step: Prepare the Chicken Start by bringing 2 large chicken breasts to room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Butterfly slice them to create four even pieces, which helps them cook uniformly. Coat each piece with 1 heaped teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. This step ensures the spices adhere well and infuse flavor, and you can adapt spices for milder versions if needed.

2-Second Step: Cook the Chicken Heat a pan over medium-high heat and fry the seasoned chicken for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the pieces and brush the cooked side with 1 cup good quality BBQ sauce. Cook for a few more minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. This timing keeps the chicken juicy, and for dietary needs, you could use a grill for a smokier taste in Bbq Chicken Coleslaw Wraps.

3-Third Step: Rest and Slice the Chicken Remove the chicken from heat and place it sauce side down on a cutting board. Brush the top with more BBQ sauce and let it rest for five minutes. Slice into strips against the grain for tenderness. Resting allows juices to redistribute, making the meat easier to handle, and this works well if you’re prepping for a group gathering.

4-Fourth Step: Make the Coleslaw Dressing In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sour cream, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the sugar for tanginess as desired. This dressing can be made ahead for convenience, and for low-calorie options, swap in Greek yogurt for the sour cream.

5-Fifth Step: Prepare the Coleslaw In a large bowl, combine 1 large grated carrot, 1/4 finely sliced red cabbage, 1/4 finely sliced green or white cabbage, and 1/2 medium finely sliced white onion. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix thoroughly. Let it sit for a few minutes to meld flavors, ensuring the coleslaw stays crisp for your Bbq Chicken Coleslaw Wraps; this is ideal for busy parents looking to add veggies easily.

6-Final Step: Assemble the Wraps Lay out 4 large white flour tortilla wraps. Place a small handful of spinach in a strip near the bottom-center of each. Top with some coleslaw, then add the sliced BBQ chicken. Fold or roll the wrap burrito-style and serve immediately. The total preparation time is 16 minutes, cooking takes 8 minutes, so the whole process is quick. For variations, add extras like avocado for more nutrition while keeping it adaptable.
