Fresh, Creamy & Flavor-Packed Wraps for Every Occasion!

Creamy Pesto Chicken Wraps are the ultimate solution to your “what’s for lunch?” dilemma. With chicken breast that’s so tender, a pesto-yogurt spread, sweet roasted peppers, and baby spinach all wrapped in a soft tortilla, these are handheld, healthy-ish, and completely crave-worthy.

Directions

Step 1

Make the Creamy Pesto Spread:

- In a mini bowl, mix Greek yogurt, pesto, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together until well blended and creamy.

Step 2

Prep the Wrap Filling:

- Warm tortillas lightly to make them easy to fold.
  Spread 1–2 tablespoons of pesto sauce onto each tortilla.
  Layer with sliced chicken, roasted red peppers, and greens.

Step 3

Wrap it Up:

- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly like a burrito.
  Secure with toothpicks or wrap in parchment for easy eating.

Step 4

Serve or Store:

- Slice in half and serve fresh, or wrap up and refrigerate for an instant on-the-go meal!

Pro Tips for Ideal Wraps

✔ Grill rotisserie chicken for a shortcut hack.
✔ Lightly toast your wrap in a pan for an added crunch.

✔ Roll up tightly in parchment or foil for meal prep or picnics.

Creative Variations

Spicy Twist – Top with pickled jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Avocado Pesto – Mash avocado into the pesto for creaminess.
Caprese Style – Add fresh tomato slices and a sprinkle of balsamic glaze.
Cheesy Melt – Heat the wrap in a panini press for a melty version!

FAQs

Can I make this ahead?
Yes! Just refrigerate wrapped in parchment or foil for up to 2 days.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! Use a dairy-free yogurt or hummus and a vegan pesto.

Is this freezer-friendly?
Not recommended, as the greens and yogurt-based sauce don’t freeze well.
