Ingredients you’ll need:
For the Chicken
2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts (griddled or fried).
Use 1 tablespoon of olive oil for grilling or frying
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
Cayenne pepper, optional (for heat), 1/2 teaspoon
1 teaspoon of onion powder
The Wrap:
4 large flour tortillas (soft taco size)
1 cup of shredded lettuce
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
diced tomatoes cup one and forth
1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
pickles 1/4 cup
Add 1/4 cup of croutons for texture.
For the Sauce:
1/4 cup ranch dressing
Zaxby’s Signature Sauce or your favourite dipping sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the chicken:
It’s essential to cook the chicken perfectly, as it is going to be the main ingredient in your wrap.
Season the Chicken: Rub olive oils over both chicken breasts and season generously with garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika (optional heat).
Cook the Chicken
Grilled chicken: Heat the grill on medium-high heat, then cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165degF.
Fried Chicken: You can also fry the chicken in oil on medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side until it is golden brown.
Slice the Chicken. Once the chicken is cooked, allow it to rest for a couple of minutes before cutting it into thin strips.
2. Preparing the ingredients:
You can prepare the ingredients while the chicken cooks.
Chop the Vegetables, then shred the lettuce. Dice the tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onions, so if you want a crunchier wrap, you can also cut the pickles.
Combine ranch dressing with Zaxby’s Signature Sauce in a small bowl (or any other dipping sauce of your choice), so this will form the base for your wrap.
3. Assemble your Wraps
It’s now time to create your chicken wraps.
Heat the Tortillas: Lightly warm the flour tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave for just a few moments to make them pliable and easy to fold.
Add Ingredients to the Layers:
Place a tortilla warmed on a flat surface.
Add a layer of shredded lettuce to the middle of the tortilla.
On top of the lettuce, then place a few pieces of fried or grilled chicken.
Add some shredded cheddar, then diced tomatoes, red onions and pickles if you’re using them.
Pour your ranch zax over the ingredients.
4. Roll up the wraps:
Fold the Wraps. Carefully fold the sides and roll the tortilla tightly, so this will keep the ingredients in. Be sure to wrap the tortilla tightly but not too tightly.
5. Serve and enjoy:
Cut the Wraps – Slice the wraps diagonally in half for an easy serving.
You’re ready to serve your homemade Zaxby’s Chicken Wraps! Serve with fries or extra dipping sauce for a complete dinner.
