Curried Chicken Salad Wrap

When I want to pack a quick lunch in 5 minutes, I often make a simple chicken wrap. This one turns leftover chicken into a curried chicken salad with a little curry powder for a filling lunch my teens love.

How to Make This Lunch

  1. Make the chicken salad
    Mix the Greek yogurt or mayo and curry powder, then add the chopped or shredded chicken and grapes.
  2. Fill the tortilla
    Layer the lettuce over the tortilla and spoon the curried chicken salad down the center.
  3. Roll it up
    Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Slice in half.
  4. Pack it for lunch
    Place the wrap in a lunch container with fruit and veggies in separate compartments. Refrigerate until it’s time to pack it in an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack.

Laura’s School Lunch Packing Tips

What kind of chicken can I use?

Use any cooked chicken you have. Leftover chicken breast or thighs, shredded chicken, and rotisserie chicken all work. This is one of my favorite lunches for using up a small amount of chicken left from dinner.

Can I use leftover chicken curry?

Sure. Chop the chicken in a bowl and hold back most of the sauce; you only need a little. Then mix it with the mayo or Greek yogurt to create the salad. The grapes would be optional since you’re using Indian curry as the base but they’d add a nice sweet touch.

Do I have to make the curried chicken salad?

No. If you have cooked chicken, you can make it in a few minutes with Greek yogurt, curry powder, and grapes. You can also use leftover curried chicken salad or buy prepared curry chicken salad from the grocery store and use it as the filling.

How do I keep it from getting soggy?

Place the lettuce directly against the tortilla before adding the chicken salad. It creates a barrier between the moist filling and tortilla. I also keep fruit, veggies, and other wet sides in separate lunchbox compartments.

Can I make it the night before?

Yes. Assemble the wrap and refrigerate it in a sealed container overnight. If you’re using a gluten-free tortilla, which can dry out faster, place a slightly damp paper towel over the wrap before closing the container.

What’s the best way to pack it?

Use a sturdy lunch container instead of a zip bag so the wrap doesn’t get flattened. These are the lunch containers I recommend for packing lunches that need a little protection.
