Barbecue Chicken Salad Wrap


This recipe appeared in my email inbox one day a few weeks ago when it was hotter than, well, you know, and sounded so good for a hot day, that I shared the link to it on the Facebook page.

The original recipe called for it to be served on just a few leaves of Bibb lettuce, but I thought it would be perfect for a wrap. Shredded lettuce on the bottom, topped with the chicken salad, a little chopped tomato and wrap and roll! Ramona, one of our Facebook readers, said she was making it with the addition of celery and pecans, and I agree - they both provide nice flavor and a little extra crunch.

The original recipe also called for parsley, but since I'm going through that "trying to learn to love cilantro thing" and planted some in my garden, I decided to use it the first time I made this chicken salad! Yep, by this posting, this is the third time I've made this barbecue chicken salad now.

Super easy too. Whisk together some mayonnaise and your favorite barbecue sauce - either homemade or your favorite bottled commercial sauce - and add a pinch of salt and pepper. If you're watching calories, a lower fat mayonnaise is fine!


In a bowl, add 4 cups of chopped, cooked chicken - a deli rotisserie chicken is perfect for this - add cooked, chopped bacon, chopped red onion, celery, pecans, and jalapeño, add some parsley and a bit of Cajun seasoning. Toss. Lots of other things can be added if you like so I've listed a few suggestion in the recipe text below. Again, okay to substitute turkey bacon if you're watching your fat grams.


Add the mayo mixture to the chicken mixture and gently blend. You can serve this immediately, but if you have time, let the flavors marry for a few hours in the fridge. As it sits, the flavor only improves.


To a flour tortilla, add some shredded lettuce and top with the chicken mixture. Use white, wheat, spinach or a lower carb tortilla if you like!


Sprinkle some chopped tomato on top, freshly sliced avocado would be fabulous too, fold the bottom up, wrap and roll! Add some cooked or raw veggies, like carrot sticks, baby carrots, broccoli or squash, even a small mixed garden or veggie salad on the side. Round it out with some fruit, and you've got a great summertime meal for these hot days that your family is sure to enjoy.
