Ingredients
For the Wraps:
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or spinach wraps work too)
1 cup romaine or mixed greens, chopped
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
¼ cup banana pepper rings (optional)
4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
¼ cup black olives, sliced (optional)
For the Italian Dressing:
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp dried basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dressing
-
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
-
Stir in Parmesan cheese if using.
-
Set aside to let the flavors blend while you prepare the wrap ingredients.
Step 2: Prep the Filling
-
If not already cooked, season and cook your chicken breast, then slice or shred.
-
In a large bowl, toss the cooked chicken with 2–3 tablespoons of the Italian dressing to coat.
-
Prepare the veggies: chop greens, slice tomatoes, onions, peppers, and olives.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
-
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.
-
Start with a slice of cheese in the center.
-
Top with about ½ cup of the dressed chicken.
-
Add greens, cherry tomatoes, onion slices, roasted red peppers, banana peppers, and olives.
-
Drizzle with a little more Italian dressing if desired.
Step 4: Fold and Toast (Optional)
-
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
-
For a warm, melty finish, heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
-
Toast each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.
-
Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment for later.
Notes
Use Warm Chicken – It helps the cheese melt and brings out more flavor.
Don’t Overfill – This keeps the wrap from bursting when you roll it.
Make it Spicy – Add crushed red pepper or spicy banana peppers.
Go Low-Carb – Use lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas.
Add a Crunch – Croutons or crispy onions add texture and taste great.
