    🍴Ingredient Notes

    BBQ chicken wrap ingredients measured out.
    • Chicken Breast - I cooked the chicken on a skillet, but you can grill the chicken, bake it, or poach it! If you poach it, or use a rotisserie chicken, I recommend shredding the chicken breast.
    • Grain-Free Wraps - I used Siete cassava flour tortillas, but any tortillas will work!
    • Arugula - Fresh arugula or spring mix will work with this recipe. I love that arugula has a little spice which goes well with the barbeque sauce!
    • Sweet Onion - You'll need one medium sized sweet onion cut into thin strips.
    • BBQ Sauce - I used Primal Kitchen organic BBQ sauce because it's unsweetened! My favorite flavors are the Mango Jalapeno and Hawaiin.

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Caramelized Onions

    Start by adding sliced onion to a pre-heated skillet with about a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally so they don't stick. If they seem like they're burning, turn the temperature down.

    Cook until golden brown.

    Step 2: Preparing Chicken

    To prepare the chicken, pat dry with paper towels. Place on a pre-heated skillet with olive oil or grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the center is white.

    Step 3: Cutting Chicken

    Slice the chicken and add to a bowl. Pour over barbeque sauce and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.

    Step 5: Cooking Wraps

    Fold tightly and place folded side down on a hot skillet. (Do not use oil.) Cook for about 2 minutes and flip. Each side should be golden brown. Serve hot!

    Expert Tips

    • The tortillas must be warmed up prior to rolling them or else they will crack and fall apart. I usually heat them in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
    • Do not use oil in the pan when heating the tortillas. The wraps will firm up with just a few seconds of heat.
    • Place the tortillas folded side DOWN on the skillet.
    • Make sure skillet has pre-heated before adding the wraps.
    • Use tongs to flip the tortillas.
    • Do not overstuff the tortillas or they will fall apart in the pan.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I prepare the wraps ahead of time?

    If you're planning to meal prep, I would suggest mixing the chicken with the barbeque sauce and storing it in the refrigerator for easy assembly. You can prepare all of the ingredients the morning of or day before. Assemble and cook before serving.

    Do I need oil on the pan when I'm cooking the wraps?

    No! I don't use any oil. Just pre-heat the pan and place the wrap folded side down for a few minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on each side.

    How to store leftovers

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. (In an airtight glass container.) They're best served fresh, so I like to make just enough for what I'll need that day.
