Chicken and Veggie Wrap Recipe: Easy Weeknight Dinner 2026

These chicken and veggie wraps are the kind of meal that proves simple ingredients can deliver big flavor. A colorful mix of red, green, and yellow peppers with red onion gets sautéed until sweet and tender, then paired with golden chicken strips and fresh greens.

Everything gets rolled into soft wheat or oat tortillas and toasted in the pan until warm and slightly crisp. The result is a satisfying, nutritious wrap that works just as well for a quick lunch as it does for a relaxed dinner.

With the amounts below, you'll get 8 wraps—enough for a complete dinner for four people. You can also slice them in half and set them out as finger food if you're hosting and serving other dishes alongside.

Ingredients for Chicken and Veggie Wraps

Makes 8 wraps

• 1 small red bell pepper
• 1 small green bell pepper
• 1 small yellow bell pepper
• 1 red onion
• 2 small chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Green sprouts
• 8 whole wheat or oat tortillas

How to Make Chicken and Veggie Wraps Step by Step

1. Slice the Bell Peppers

Wash and dry the red, green, and yellow bell peppers. Cut them in half, remove the seeds, and slice them into thin strips.

2. Cut the Onion

Peel the red onion and cut it into thin julienne strips.

3. Sauté the Vegetables

Place a skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the sliced bell peppers and red onion for a few minutes until golden. Set aside.

4. Slice the Chicken

While the vegetables cook, cut the 2 chicken breasts into strips and season with salt and pepper.

5. Cook the Chicken

In the same skillet, cook the chicken strips for a few minutes until golden on the outside and fully cooked inside. Reserve the skillet to toast the tortillas later.

6. Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the 8 tortillas and place a small portion of green sprouts on each. Divide the pepper and onion sauté among the tortillas.

7. Add the Chicken

Distribute the chicken strips evenly among the 8 tortillas.

8. Roll and Toast the Wraps

To close the wraps without them falling apart, fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll them up into a little package. Keep the seam side down so they stay closed. Then toast them in the same skillet, no need to add more oil, starting with the seam side down.

9. Serve

Serve the chicken wraps cut in half on their own or with a sauce of your choice.

Tips for the Best Chicken and Veggie Wraps

Choose Your Tortillas Wisely

You can use the classic wheat tortillas found in any supermarket, or opt for whole wheat or oat versions for a healthier twist. Either way, they'll hold up beautifully to the filling.

Serve with a Sauce

The wraps are delicious as is—juicy and flavorful from the sautéed vegetables and chicken. But a sauce like yogurt sauce or guacamole takes them to totally irresistible territory.

Perfect for Entertaining

With this recipe you get 8 wraps, perfect for a complete dinner for 4. You can also serve them cut in half in the center of the table for a casual gathering if you're offering other dishes.
