Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Whole Wheat Tortilla: This is the base of your wrap and adds a healthy fiber boost. If you can’t find whole wheat, opt for a regular flour tortilla or a spinach wrap for extra color.
Grilled Chicken Breast: Freshly grilled chicken gives the best flavor. If you’re short on time, rotisserie chicken works perfectly. Just shred it and you’re good to go!
Shredded Lettuce: Romaine or iceberg lettuce adds crunch. You could also use a mix of greens like spinach or arugula for a different taste.
Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheese: These cheeses blend nicely for creaminess. You can swap them for any cheese you prefer, like pepper jack for a spicy kick or feta for a tangy twist.
Veggies: Carrots and cucumbers are optional but provide great texture. Feel free to toss in bell peppers, tomatoes, or any leftover veggies you have.
Dressing: Avocado ranch dressing is delicious here. If you don’t have it, any creamy dressing, like ranch or Caesar, works well. You can also use a vinaigrette for a lighter option.
How Do I Grill Chicken Breast Perfectly?
Grilling chicken breast can be tricky, but with these tips, you’ll master it!
- Start by seasoning your chicken with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat for even cooking.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling; this keeps it juicy before you slice it.
How to Make a Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Wrap:
- 1 large whole wheat tortilla
- 1 cup grilled chicken breast, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots (optional)
- 1/4 cup cucumber, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup avocado ranch dressing (or dressing of choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap takes about 10-15 minutes to prepare, especially if your chicken is already grilled. If you need to cook the chicken, allow an extra 15 minutes for grilling time. So, in total, you’re looking at around 25-30 minutes!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preparing the Chicken:
If your grilled chicken breast is not pre-cooked, start by seasoning it with salt and pepper. Grill it for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it’s fully cooked. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
2. Layer the Ingredients:
Take the whole wheat tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, begin layering your shredded lettuce, followed by the sliced grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. If you’re using optional ingredients like shredded carrots or sliced cucumber, add them in this step as well.
3. Add the Dressing:
Drizzle the avocado ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing) over the fillings. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your taste preference, making it as light or as tangy as you like!
4. Roll Up the Wrap:
Now for the fun part! Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose all those delicious fillings. Make sure to roll it snugly to keep everything inside.
5. Slice and Serve:
Using a sharp knife, slice the wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and a nice presentation. And voilà! Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side if desired. Enjoy your homemade Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap!
Can I Use Different Types of Tortillas?
Absolutely! While whole wheat tortillas are a great choice for added fiber, you can use regular flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or even spinach tortillas for a twist. Just ensure they’re large enough to hold all the fillings!
How Can I Make This Wrap Vegetarian?
For a vegetarian version, simply omit the grilled chicken and replace it with extra veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or even a plant-based protein like chickpeas or tofu. You can also add more avocado for creaminess!
Can I Prepare This Wrap in Advance?
Yes, you can! Just prepare the wrap without the dressing and keep it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or foil. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just add the dressing right before serving to keep everything fresh!
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftover Wraps?
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To enjoy them again, you can eat them cold, or reheat them briefly in a pan over low heat to warm the filling without making the tortilla tough.
