No mess, no dripping sauces — perfect for guests mingling around with drinks.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything required to make this baby-shower-friendly grilled chicken wrap:

• 2 grilled chicken breasts
• 3 large tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup diced tomatoes (Optional)
• ½ cup shredded cheese
• ¼ cup ranch or Caesar dressing
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt & pepper to taste

How to Make Your Grilled Chicken Wrap

1. Season & Grill the Chicken

Pat the chicken dry and season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Grill for about 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked.

2. Slice the Chicken Thinly

Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips so the wrap rolls easily.

3. Assemble the Wrap

Lay a tortilla flat. Add greens, tomatoes, cheese, dressing, and sliced grilled chicken. Keep everything centered.

4. Roll It Tightly

Fold the sides in, then roll from bottom to top. The tighter the roll, the cleaner your appetizer pieces will look.

5. Slice Into Mini Portions

Use a sharp knife to cut the grilled chicken wrap into 3–4 appetizer-sized bites. Secure each with a toothpick if needed.

FAQ: Grilled Chicken Wrap for Baby Shower Appetizers

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

Yes — thighs are juicy and great for wraps, as long as they’re grilled and trimmed well.

What’s the best dressing to use?

Ranch and Caesar work great, but Greek yogurt dressing keeps it lighter for daytime events.

Can I make these wraps completely ahead?

Yes, but assemble them no more than 2 hours before the baby shower so the tortilla doesn’t soften too much.

What other toppings can I add?

You can add cucumbers, avocado, sweet corn, or thin red onion slices for texture.
