Chicken Salad Wrap (5. Min)
Packed with chicken schnitzel, creamy coleslaw, and baby lettuce, this chicken salad wrap makes the perfect quick lunch, easy dinner, or on-the-go snack. Thanks to my weekly meal prep routine (or store-bought coleslaw and schnitzel instead) this salad wrap can be made in 5 minutes flat!
- Customizable: Similar to my ham and cheese wrap or egg salad wrap, you can easily adjust the ingredients to your liking, adding or removing toppings as desired.
- Quick and easy recipe: This fast lunch can be prepared in 5 minutes with some meal-prepped ingredients, making it ideal for busy weekdays.
- Wraps – Large soft flour tortillas work best (8 inches).
- Chicken – Cool or warm chicken schnitzel cut into strips both work well. Alternatively, you can use leftover roast chicken, grilled chicken, or rotisserie chicken.
- Veggies – Baby lettuce and coleslaw with mayonnaise give the wrap extra texture and nutrients for a complete meal. You can pretty much add any vegetable including bell peppers, red onion, cucumber, red sauerkraut, or avocado.
- Sriracha: I love adding some heat to the wrap with some Sriracha sauce. Any hot sauce will do!
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Low-carb: Use lettuce leaves to make lettuce chicken wraps.
Chicken salad: Simply add your favorite chicken salad instead of the schnitzel to the wrap.
Step 1: Add mayonnaise and baby lettuce leaves to a large tortilla wrap.
Step 2: Add the coleslaw on top.
Step 3: Place the chicken schnitzel cut into pieces onto the coleslaw.
Step 4: Add green onions and sriracha sauce (optional). Wrap it up and enjoy!
Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day but they are better made fresh.
What can I use instead of flour tortilla wraps?You can use lettuce leaves for a low-carb option or whole wheat wraps as a wholesome alternative.

Tips

- Balance filling:Ā Add the filling in the middle of the tortilla but donāt overfill to ensure a tight roll that stays together.
