Chicken Wraps, grilled chicken, mozzarella, basil and tomatoes wrapped in a warm flour tortilla and drizzled with balsamic glaze.

These chicken wraps have great flavor and fill you up in just the right way. Plus, they’re really simple and easy to put together!

Is there any dish more perfect for summer than caprese…. anything? Plump and juicy tomatoes, fresh basil and mozzarella is just one flavor combo that will never go out of style.

It is light, refreshing and you can use this flavor profile so many different ways. Salads, pizza or sandwiches. It is just perfect for these summer months not only because tomatoes and basil are in abundance but after you eat it, you don’t feel weighed down.

There is no worse feeling than stuffing yourself on a scorcher of a day. Eating light like this really helps!

I was on a quest to figure out some new lunch items. It has to be packed full of flavor, caprese style (because… obviously.) and has to be able to get thrown together fast. I was at the grocery store, strolling through the refrigerated section and it hit me…. wraps!

Scallions, basil, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, shredded mozzarella and balsamic glaze are the other ingredients you will need.

In the end, this recipe gets you some Chicken wraps that I guarantee you’ll come back to again and again. Let’s get into it!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

WHAT KIND OF CHICKEN IS THE BEST TO USE?

I love using precooked chicken breast for this recipe.

It’s ready made, juicy, and perfect for tasty wraps!

Rotisserie chicken or chicken strips work great too, especially if you’ve got leftover chicken—just make sure it’s tender and ready to roll into your good, good wraps!

CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD?

You bet! Mix the cream cheese spread in a small bowl and chop everything early, then wrap them up when you’re ready to eat.

Store them in an airtight container with plastic wrap in the fridge—they’ll stay fresh for a day, perfect for meal prep or a sneaky next time lunch!
