Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
1/3 cup BBQ sauce (look for a low-sugar option)
4 whole-grain flatbreads or large whole-wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded romaine or mixed greens
1/2 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
1/2 cup grated carrots
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1 small avocado, sliced (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil spray or 1 teaspoon olive oil (for warming flatbreads)
Optional extras: pickled jalapeños, corn kernels, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika

How to Make It

Mix the chicken: In a bowl, toss the cooked chicken with BBQ sauce until coated. Add a pinch of pepper.If you like it saucier, add another tablespoon of BBQ sauce.
Make the light ranch: Stir together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with a splash of water if you prefer a drizzle.
Prep the veggies: Slice and chop everything so it’s ready to layer.Keep pieces fairly thin to help the wrap roll easily.
Warm the flatbreads: Lightly oil a skillet and warm each flatbread for 20–30 seconds per side. This makes them pliable and improves flavor.
Build the wraps: Lay out the flatbreads. Add a handful of greens, then cabbage, carrots, onion, and tomatoes.Top with BBQ chicken, avocado slices, and cilantro.
Drizzle and season: Add the yogurt ranch and, if you like heat, a few pickled jalapeños. Sprinkle a touch of smoked paprika for a BBQ kick.
Wrap it up: Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom. Slice in half if serving right away.
Serve: Enjoy warm, or chill for 10 minutes to set the wrap and make slicing cleaner.

Keeping It Fresh

Meal prep smart: Store components separately for up to 3 days—chicken, veggies, and sauce in different containers.
Prevent sogginess: Add the sauce right before eating, or spread a little yogurt ranch on the flatbread first to create a barrier.
Wrap and chill: If packing ahead, wrap tightly in parchment or foil and refrigerate.Add avocado the day you plan to eat it.
Reheat gently: Warm the chicken before assembling if you prefer a hot wrap, but keep the veggies cool and crisp.

Benefits of This Recipe

High in protein: Chicken and Greek yogurt help support satiety and muscle recovery.
Rich in fiber: Whole-grain flatbread and veggies support digestion and steady energy.
Lower in added sugar: Choosing a better BBQ sauce keeps the sweetness in check.
Portion-friendly: Each wrap is a balanced meal with carbs, protein, and healthy fats.

What Not to Do

Don’t overfill: Too much filling makes rolling messy and the wrap likely to tear.
Don’t skip warming the flatbread: Cold, stiff bread cracks. A quick warm-up makes a big difference.
Don’t drown the chicken: Too much BBQ sauce can overpower the fresh elements and add extra sugar.
Don’t slice with a dull knife: It will mash the wrap. Use a sharp knife or a serrated blade.

Alternatives

Protein swaps: Use grilled turkey, rotisserie chicken thigh, tofu, or chickpeas tossed in BBQ sauce.
Dairy-free: Replace Greek yogurt with a plain unsweetened dairy-free yogurt or a light tahini-lemon sauce.
Gluten-free: Choose gluten-free tortillas or flatbreads.
Sauce twist: Mix half BBQ sauce and half hot sauce for extra heat, or use a smoky chipotle BBQ.
Veggie add-ins: Add roasted peppers, cucumber ribbons, or a handful of corn for sweetness and crunch.

FAQ

Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked?

Yes. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear until cooked through (165°F/74°C). Rest, slice, and toss with BBQ sauce before assembling.

What’s the best flatbread for wraps?

Look for soft, whole-grain flatbreads or large tortillas that bend easily. If they feel stiff, warm them briefly in a skillet or microwave with a damp paper towel.

How can I make this spicier?

Use a spicy BBQ sauce, add chipotle powder or smoked paprika to the chicken, and toss in sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

Can I serve these cold?

Absolutely. They hold up well chilled. Keep the sauce separate until serving if you’re worried about sogginess.

How do I keep the wrap from falling apart?

Warm the flatbread, layer greens first to create a base, avoid overfilling, and roll tightly. Wrap in parchment for easy eating on the go.
