This chicken ranch wrap is an easy lunch idea packed with protein and delicious flavors of smoky bacon, chicken, and ranch dressing.

Pack this chicken ranch wrap in the lunchbox, and your kids will ask for it on repeat. It’s made with chicken, smoky bacon, and ranch dressing, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla- it is so good and makes you feel like lunch can’t get here soon enough!

A chicken ranch wrap cut in half and packed into a lunch container with yogurt pack, fresh fruit, and veggies.

Chicken Ranch Wrap with Bacon

This chicken ranch wrap packs on the flavor, and you won’t believe how easy it is to assemble. You can make it with shredded rotisserie chicken or leftovers from dinner; both work great for a healthy school lunch the next day.

The dressing really brings all the flavors together, and if you don’t have time to make my 3-minute Homemade Ranch, go ahead and use the bottled dressing. You know what’s best.

Chicken wraps make the perfect vessel to pack a variety of tasty ingredients into a handheld meal. Another bonus: they can be made the night before, stored in the lunch container, and packed into the lunch bag in the morning!

What is in a Chicken Ranch Wrap

To build this chicken ranch wrap you will need: 

  • Flour tortillas: burrito-size tortillas and wraps work best to hold all ingredients. 
  • Chicken: shredded roasted chicken or cubed grilled cube. 
  • Bacon: because it makes everything better. 
  • Cheese: shredded mozzarella or cheddar. 
  • Green onion: optional, but adds sharp flavor. 
  • Ranch dressing: adds flavor and makes this wrap a winner. 
  • Snacks: fruit, yogurt, veggies- the options are endless!

How to Pack this Chicken Ranch Wrap for Lunch

Want to know how to pack this chicken ranch wrap without it falling apart in the lunchbox? It’s easy! Let me show you how:

  1. Double wrap
    Once the wrap is assembled, wrap it with a paper towel or plastic wrap. This will help “hold” the ingredients in place and keep the wrap from getting soggy.
  2. Put it in the lunchbox
    Cut the wrap in half, if desired, and pack it into a lunch container. Using a zip bag can cause it to get smashed. Add the fruit and veggies to the empty compartments, keeping them separate from the wrap, so it doesn’t get soggy.  
  3. Send it
    Close the container and pack it into the lunch bag with a yogurt cup and ice pack. 

*You can also use foil to cover the wrap, but it makes it a little harder to cut the wrap in half.

More tips for packing wraps for lunch

Pack this Chicken Ranch Wrap perfectly every time by following this pro tips:

Save time
If you cube or shred the cooked chicken ahead, you’ll thank yourself when assembling this wrap! Cutting the chicken leftovers doesn’t take much time, and you’ll have it ready to use for this and other meals. Check out my 4 easy methods for shredding chicken in this post.

Keep it fresh
If you’re packing these chicken wraps the night before, cover them with a damp paper towel and refrigerate to prevent the wraps from drying out. Gluten-free tortillas dry out quicker than traditional ones, so follow this tip, especially if using GF.

Separate dry from wet
Will you add some veggies and fruit to this lunch? Great idea! When packing, place the wrap in its own compartment or container and the fruit, veggies and other “wet” sides separate to keep the wrap from absorbing any moisture.

Use a firm container
Save zip bags for other stuff and pack this wrap in a firm container. While zip bags can be convenient, they don’t protect wraps and sandwiches in the lunch bag from being flattened.

Looking for lunch containers with compartments so you can pack multiple wet and dry ingredients together? Check out a few of my favorite options in this post.
