Chicken Pesto Wraps – Quick and Easy Recipes for Lunch or Dinner
Let’s be honest, some days I just need lunch to magically appear. That’s where these chicken pesto wraps come in. They’re quick and easy recipes like this one that keep me from reaching for a sad granola bar and calling it a meal.
I usually whip these up with leftover rotisserie chicken—though I’ve also used grilled chicken breasts or even a quick air fryer batch. The pesto adds a punch of flavor (basil, garlic, Parmesan… need I say more?), and the creamy mayo or Greek yogurt helps mellow it out just right. Spinach gives a fresh crunch, and if I’m feeling fancy, I toss in a slice of provolone or shredded mozzarella.
If you’re chasing healthy and easy recipes or just need an easy chicken dinner idea in your back pocket, this one is hard to beat. Plus, it’s just one of those easy lunch recipes that’s equally good hot or cold. I mean, who doesn’t love a meal that multitasks?
Servings: 4 wraps
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- Optional: sliced provolone, shredded mozzarella, cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, pesto, and mayo or yogurt until well combined.
- Lay out each tortilla and layer with a handful of spinach.
- Spoon the chicken pesto mixture on top.
- Add any extras like cheese or tomatoes if you’d like.
- Wrap tightly like a burrito. If you want it warm, toss it in a pan or air fryer for 2–3 minutes to get that golden, toasty edge.
- Slice in half and serve immediately—or wrap in foil for later.
