A Quick and Simple Copycat Recipe at Home
These wraps are an easy and affordable alternative to getting them out. While sometimes I like to make a quick run to the restaurant (it’s literally less than 5 minutes from my house), there are days when I’d rather just stay home.
With a little planning I can make these and bam! dinners ready when I am and I get to stay in my comfy clothes. Plus, we’re trying to eat out less and this is one of the ways we’re able to do that.
These chicken wraps are also great for busy families that can’t always make it to the dinner table at the same time.
While I’ve stayed as close to the Chick-fil-A version as possible, you can change them up and make them exactly how you want. I use my homemade Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing, and you can too. Or, you can use your favorite store bought dressing to make these even easier.

Copycat Chick fil A Chicken Wrap Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Chicken: I use my George Foreman Grilled Chicken, it’s boneless skinless chicken breast that’s grilled indoors. You may not have an indoor grill so you can use any cooked chicken you have, or even buy.
- Tortillas: Chick-fil-A describes what they use as a flaxseed flour flat bread, I use Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Carb Friendly large tortillas. They’re readily available and I love them. I also use them to make my Chicken & Black Bean Burritos. You can use your favorite tortilla or flat bread.
- Lettuce: They use a fresh mix of green leaf lettuce, green cabbage, and green and red lettuce. I keep it simple by using just one type of lettuce, usually green leaf lettuce but I also use Romaine if that’s what I have.
- Cheese: I use the same blend they use, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. You can really use any cheese you like.
- Sauce: Avocado lime ranch pairs particularly well with these wraps. But you can use your favorite homemade or store-bought sauce or dressing.
How to Make Chick-fil-A Copycat Grilled Chicken Cool Wrap
Jump to RecipeHere’s a quick look at the steps (with photos). You’ll find complete directions and ingredient amounts in the recipe card below.
Add a couple of lettuce leaves to the tortilla.
Place about 3 ounces of chicken on top of the lettuce and cheese.
Add the cheeses.
Wrap as tightly as possible.
Make Ahead Pro Tips
These are a great make ahead wrap to take to work or school, or just to have ready any time. Here are some tips to help them stay fresh as long as possible, maybe a few days.
- Make sure the lettuce is completely dry.
- Use pre-shredded cheese because it has a coating that helps it to not stick and become gummy.
- Don’t put the dressing or sauce on ahead of time. If eating them right away we put our dressing on before wrapping, but if making these for meal prep we just dip our wraps in the sauce (the same way we do if we eat them at the restaurant).
- Wrap in foil and keep them in a zip top bag or other airtight container.
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s just grilled chicken, a lettuce blend and a combo of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
