BBQ Chicken Pizza Wraps feature all the ingredients we love on a BBQ chicken pizza, wrapped as a handy grab-and-go meal. Thanks to my sister-in-law, Sheri, who came up with the idea! She filled a soft pita flatbread with juicy BBQ chicken, two types of cheese, fresh cilantro, and chopped red onion. It quickly became a hit at her bagel shop, and we’re sure you’ll agree it’s a must for you and your family!
BBQ Chicken Pizza Wraps – Can’t be More Convenient!
Wrapped in parchment paper, these BBQ Chicken Pizza Wraps are perfect for meal prep, easy lunches, or packing in a cooler for your next outing. Simply slice them in half when you’re ready to eat. Make a batch in the morning, and they’ll be ready for your next adventure.
What Ingredients Do I Need?
The ingredient list is short, simple, and packed with flavor!
Greek Pita Flatbread: Greek pita adds a soft, chewy texture that tortillas just can’t match. We use white flatbread, but whole wheat adds a hearty, nutty flavor.
Chicken: Cook your chicken any way you like. Short on time? A rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even easier. We’ve included our quick homemade BBQ sauce recipe, but your favorite bottled BBQ sauce works just as well – we’re all about easy meal prep.
Cheeses: Yes, Cheeses is a word! We use two types of cheese for a combination of delicious flavors and textures. Mozzarella gives this wrap a pizza flavor while smoked Gouda pairs perfectly with BBQ chicken.
Cilantro and Red Onion: Cilantro is bright, herby, and fresh, while red onion brings crispness and a zesty bite.
This wrap is savory and flavor-packed in every bite!
Do I Eat These Wraps Hot or Cold?
Both! Just like pizza, these wraps are delicious warm or cold. We recommend heating them first so the cheeses melt and all the flavors come together. After that, they’re just as tasty eaten immediately or enjoyed later at room temperature.
What Should I Serve with BBQ Chicken Pizza Wraps?
For an easy picnic or grab-and-go lunch, serve these wraps with your favorite chips and fresh fruit. They also taste great with one of our favorite sides from ABK. You’ll love our Fresh Thai Cucumber Salad, Apple and Cabbage Slaw, or 5-Minute Easy Hummus served with crisp, fresh vegetables.
