A Note from Teri on this Chicken Bacon Wrap

Isn’t it fun to switch things up once in a while? I decided to take our Cobb Salad one day and turn it into a wrap and am so happy I did! Not only is this Chicken Bacon Wrap incredibly delicious but so many of you loved it that it went viral for us on Instagram! It was a little bit of an unexpected surprise but definitely felt good about it.

Not every salad will translate into a great wrap but this one did! The fact that it was easy to make and so fun to eat made it a total win-win. While you can easily make this wrap with a store-bought rotisserie chicken breast, I made mine with my Sizzling Everyday Roast Chicken breast. Paired with my perfect oven bacon, jammy eggs, and Creamy Chive dressing, this Chicken Bacon Wrap is a surefire recipe for deliciousness. Cobb salads are more frequently enjoyed with blue cheese or cheddar cheese but I opted for crumbled feta cheese in this wrap and let me tell you, it was a slam dunk. As always with any of my wraps, this is something I would make when you’re ready to eat rather than making ahead. But trust me when I say, you’ll be wanting to devour these on sight!

Ingredients

Soft-boiled eggs, bacon, chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, red onions, chives, and salt on rustic wooden table for healthy eating.

How To Make This Chicken Bacon Wrap

With a paring knife, cut the core out of the head of iceberg lettuce. Gently peel away the outer 2 to 4 largest iceberg leaves, making sure to keep them in one piece. Reserve the remaining iceberg for another use.

Rinse the iceberg leaves and allow the excess water to drip off before placing them on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and placing in your refrigerator. If you didn’t get 4 large leaves from the first head of the iceberg, repeat with the other head of the iceberg. 

Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently add the eggs and boil for 8 minutes. Transfer them to an ice water bath and let them sit for a few minutes. Peel and halve the eggs, and set aside.

To assemble the wraps, place 2 iceberg leaves on a sheet of parchment paper on a work surface. Tip: If your iceberg leaves are on the small side, stack and overlap them to  give you a little extra length.

Along the bottom edge of the lettuce leaves, line 2 egg halves, 3 ounces of the sliced chicken breast, and a half the avocado slices. Season with pinch of salt and pepper. Add 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of the dressing, half the cherry tomatoes, some Marinated Red Onions, 1-2 slices of bacon, half the feta, and a handful of chives.

Using both hands, carefully begin to roll the leaves up into a wrap starting with the edge of the leaves closest to you. Wrap the leaves over the filling, pulling the filling in toward you as you roll. Tuck or fold in the sides of the lettuce as you go and continue rolling as tightly as you can until the sandwich is completely wrapped, like a burrito. Then tightly roll the paper around the wrap. Twist the ends of the paper, and cut the wrap in half. Repeat to make a second wrap, then serve and enjoy immediately.

Variations

As always, you should feel free to customize this and any recipe to your likes and restrictions. If you do Whole30 and want to try your hand at making this wrap, simply omit the cheese! If you don’t have iceberg on hand you can always make this on a large flour or almond flour tortilla and add a green like romaine to keep the green crunch. Speaking of crunch, I sometimes add a few potato chips to my wraps for a fun bite. You can also add sliced bell peppers for that fun crunch factor. I love my Creamy Chive dressing and always reach for it when making salads but if you don’t have time to make your own, a store-bought ranch dressing or other favorite creamy dressing would go really well with this wrap too. This is really a customizable, no-stress easy meal!

  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently add the eggs and boil for 8 minutes. Transfer them to an ice water bath and let them sit for a few minutes. Peel and halve the eggs, and set aside.
  4. Thinly slice your roasted chicken breast with a sharp knife or with a meat slicer and set aside. 
  5. To assemble the wraps, place 2 iceberg leaves on a sheet of parchment paper on a work surface. Tip: If your iceberg leaves are on the smaller side, stack and overlap them to  give you a little extra length. 
  6. Along the bottom edge of the lettuce leaves, line 2 egg halves, 3 ounces of the sliced chicken breast, and a half of the avocado slices. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
