Ingredient Notes

1 cup finely chopped spinach adds a burst of color and nutrition. You can substitute with kale or Swiss chard if desired. 2 tablespoons honey provides sweetness and encourages a delightful caramelization. Agave syrup is a great alternative. 1 pound of cooked chicken, shredded, brings heartiness; leftover roasted chicken works perfectly. Lastly, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese offers a creamy tang; you could use goat cheese for a milder flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, shredded chicken, and crumbled feta, mixing until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: Lay out large flatbreads on a clean surface and spread the honey evenly over each one for added flavor.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the chicken-spinach mixture onto the bottom third of each flatbread, then roll tightly away from you to form a log.
  4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and toast each roll-up for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Things I’ve Learned

To avoid soggy roll-ups, ensure your filling isn’t too wet. These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or microwave for about 30 seconds. For meal prep, you can assemble the roll-ups ahead of time and cook them when ready to serve.
