Make lunchtime easy, nutritious, and delicious with this super simple cranberry pecan chicken salad wrap recipe. You can make them right before you sit down to eat or get them ready ahead of time for a grab-and-go lunch or snack.

Ingredients

These chicken salad wraps offer the perfect blend of sweet and savory between the cranberries and chicken. The pecans and celery deliver a satisfying crunch that will keep you coming back for more.

The ingredients you’ll need to make your wraps include:

• 3 cups of chicken, cooked and shredded
• ½ cup of dried cranberries
• ½ cup pecans, chopped
• ¾ cup celery, chopped
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 6 tortillas

Here are a few other tips to check out as you prepare your ingredients:

• Cook the chicken using your preferred cooking method, such as baking, boiling, grilling, or cooking in a crock pot. You can also simplify this dish further by shredding rotisserie chicken.
• Depending on your taste preferences, you can incorporate more or less mayonnaise to achieve your desired texture and flavor. You could also substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or light sour cream.
• As alternatives to tortillas, pita bread and lettuce serve as a delicious base for this cranberry and pecan chicken mixture. You can also use the mixture as a tasty dip for crackers or veggies when you need a light yet satisfying snack.
• Feel free to include your favorite seasonings or dressings to get a flavor you love. Fresh parsley can provide a refreshing taste, while a little sriracha can add a zesty punch of flavor when you are looking for a little more spice.

Recipe

This cranberry chicken salad wrap takes about 5 to 10 minutes to put together, making it the perfect meal or snack when you want to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible. This recipe provides around six servings, but it can easily be adjusted depending on your needs.

To create your wrap:

1. Place shredded chicken, cranberries, pecans, and celery in a large bowl. Toss together.
2. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
3. Spoon chicken mixture onto tortilla.
4. Roll up the tortilla and enjoy!

While you can serve the wraps immediately after preparing, you can also create a richer taste by letting the chicken mixture sit in the fridge for a couple of hours and allowing the flavors to meld together.

Store any chicken mixture leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. Be sure to assemble your wrap right before you’re ready to eat it to prevent your tortilla from becoming soggy.
