This Chicken Wrap recipe is such an easy weeknight dinner. Done in about 25 minutes and delicious, these will become a regular meal in your house.
I am so happy to be sharing this easy lunch recipe with you today! It is perfect for dinners too, and your family will them. These Chicken Wraps come together so quickly, and have the perfect flavors.
I almost feel guilty calling these a recipe, but I know you will love having a fast recipe that you can make for Saturday lunches or weeknight dinners. This is the perfect recipe for a family on the run.
If you are looking for more recipes to throw on the grill, this one is perfect. But we make it year round using our indoor grill pan.
Chicken Wrap Ingredients
Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to get the full amounts of each ingredient and now to put this great recipe together.
- Cooked Chicken (see below)
- Romaine Lettuce
- Roma Tomatoes
- Red Onion
- Shredded Cheese
- Chick Fil A Sauce or BBQ Sauce
- Flour Tortillas
Please note that you need at least 9 inch sized tortillas to make this wrap work. These are the Burrito Sized tortillas in the store.
How To Make Shredded Chicken
Shredded chicken is very easy to make for this recipe or any other recipe. For this recipe you will need just under a pound of chicken.
- Cover the chicken breast completely with water and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 4 to 10 minutes. The thickness of the breasts will determine how long you need to cook it.
- Cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
I love cooking mine with an instant read thermometer in it. The one linked has a long cord so it can stay in the whole time it is cooking and alert you when the chicken is done.
Alternatively, you could buy a rotisserie chicken or make shredded chicken in the Instant Pot.
What Sauce to Use
I think this recipe is perfect using my Chick Fil A Sauce (a Honey BBQ based sauce). It makes it so much like a Chick Fil A Wrap. That being said there are lots of other sauces that would be great in this.
- BBQ Sauce
- Ranch Dressing
- Garlic Aioli
- Pesto
- Sriracha Mayonnaise

How to Grill a Chicken Wrap
I think one of the best parts about this recipe is the crispy outside and melty cheese inside that you get from grilling them. To grill them:
- Fold the outsides of the wrap in on itself.
- Then roll it up.
- Place it seam side down on the hot grill.
- Flip it over after 2 to 3 minutes, and grill it for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- If it starts to open up on the grill after flipping, stick a tooth pick through it to secure it.
I think these are great to make on an indoor grill pan. You can see my favorite linked below under.

FAQ
Do I need to grill chicken wraps?
While I think that these are great grilled, it is not absolutely necessary. These would also be wonderful just as a wrap packed in a school lunch.
Are chicken wraps eaten warm or cold?
These great wraps are delicious whether warm or cold. I particularly enjoy them fresh off the grill, but they are great both ways.

These wraps are very good! I did not grill them, but maybe next time I may try that. I used the left over sauce for chicken nuggets.

Easy Peasy; my kind of recipe. Thank you
Right now when it’s so hot here in Texas I try to avoid not using the stove so lots of times if IU need cooked chicken I will use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
I normally will have a couple in the freezer for a quick & easy meal like these chicken wraps. It saves time and stove won’t heat up the kitchen.
