Ever have one of those nights where you need a dinner that’s both a total crowd-pleaser and comes together in a flash? You know the ones—where everyone is hungry, the clock is ticking, and you just want something delicious without a mountain of dishes. Well, my friend, that’s exactly why these Crispy Chicken Ranch Club Wraps are about to become your new best friend. They’re the perfect solution for a busy evening, combining all the satisfying crunch and flavor of a classic club sandwich with the easy, no-fuss wrap of your dreams.
Top Reasons To Make It
First, let’s talk about why this recipe is such a win. It’s incredibly quick, using pre-cooked chicken to get you from zero to dinner in about 15 minutes. It’s also wonderfully versatile. I love using a rotisserie chicken from the store, but it’s also a brilliant way to use up any leftover shredded chicken you might have in the fridge. And honestly, the combination of the crispy bacon (or smoked turkey!), cool ranch, and tender chicken is just so good. It’s a meal that feels indulgent but is still balanced enough for a regular weeknight.

Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (from about 1 rotisserie chicken or 2 large breasts)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing, plus more for drizzling
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (adds a creamy, protein-packed tang)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch burrito-size works best)
- 4 leaves of green leaf or butter lettuce
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 6 slices smoked turkey breast, chopped (our friendly alternative)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, and Greek yogurt. Stir until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place one lettuce leaf in the center, topping it with a quarter of the chicken mixture.
- Layer a few slices of tomato, a sprinkle of the chopped smoked turkey, and a generous pinch of shredded cheese on top of the chicken.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then tightly roll it up from the bottom, burrito-style.
- If you’d like a warm, crispy wrap, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Otherwise, slice in half and enjoy immediately!
Serving Ideas & Pairings
These wraps are a full meal all on their own, but I love serving them with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple, crisp salad with a light vinaigrette. For a real picnic vibe, some fresh fruit like watermelon chunks or apple slices on the side is just perfect. And for the kids? Just serve the components deconstructed—they’ll have a blast building their own mini wraps.
Variations & Substitutions
This recipe is wonderfully adaptable! For a low-carb option, simply use large lettuce leaves like romaine or butter lettuce as your wrap instead of a tortilla. Not a ranch fan? A creamy Caesar or green goddess dressing would be lovely here. You can also swap the cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack for a little kick, or even Swiss cheese. And if you’re looking for more healthy dinner ideas, try adding in some finely chopped red bell pepper or spinach to the chicken mixture for an extra veggie boost.
Healthy Chicken Recipe Tips
Using a rotisserie chicken is a fantastic shortcut, but I always recommend taking a minute to remove the skin to keep things a bit lighter. Opting for a light ranch dressing or making your own with Greek yogurt is another easy way to cut calories without sacrificing flavor. And that bit of Greek yogurt we mix right into the chicken? It adds protein and makes the filling extra creamy and satisfying, so you’ll feel full and happy.
Storage & Reheating
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftover chicken mixture separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble your wraps just before eating. If you have a fully assembled and cooked wrap leftover, you can keep it in the fridge for a day. The best way to reheat it and bring back that wonderful crispness is in an air fryer at 350°F for about 5-6 minutes, or in a toaster oven until warm. I don’t recommend microwaving, as the tortilla will get soft.
