Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

- ½ cup creamy ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
Supplies Needed
- Grill or grill pan
- Tongs

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub with olive oil. Season both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat and layer with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with creamy ranch dressing.
Wrap and Serve
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Storage Tips
Refrigerator
Store assembled wraps in an airtight container for up to 1 day. For longer storage, keep the ingredients separate and assemble just before eating.
Meal Prep Tip
Grill the chicken and prep the veggies ahead of time for quick assembly throughout the week.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to make them easier to roll.
- Swap out ranch dressing for Greek yogurt dressing or hummus for a lighter option.
- Add sliced avocado or crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
Variations
Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wraps
Toss the chicken in buffalo sauce before assembling for a spicy twist.
Southwest Chicken Wraps
Add black beans, corn, and a sprinkle of chili powder for a Southwest-inspired flavor.
Low-Carb Option
Use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a keto-friendly wrap.
FAQ
Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
Yes! Rotisserie chicken or pre-grilled chicken strips work perfectly for an even faster meal.
What’s the best way to reheat this wrap?
Reheat the chicken strips separately and assemble the wrap fresh for the best texture.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Swap the cheese and ranch dressing for dairy-free alternatives or omit them entirely.
