Chicken Wrap with Carrot Fries
This recipe is one of my favorite lower-carb options for lunch. It leaves you feeling full… yet not stuffed to where you want to take a nap. It’s refreshing not too hot, so even a good summer lunch too. I prefer it more in the spring, however, eat it with whatever season you want to.

Let’s Begin
First & Foremost
I always have my chicken prepped ahead of time. I either grill my chicken for the week, or I will air fry one chicken breast in the morning and reheat it as the day goes on for whatever meal I enjoy next. For this recipe, I used a chicken breast already cooked and seasoned on both sides, both of Kinder’s seasonings plus Mrs. Dash as seen below. I spray the air fryer and cook the chicken breast at 400° for 22 minutes.
Anyways, I take the already-cooked chicken breast and measure out 3 ounces (a little over is ok). I like to reheat my chicken in the air fryer. I used to use a single-bucket air fryer, now I use the dual-bucket air fryer and LOVE both.
Make sure any cooking spray you use, does not have soy lecithin in it. You want all-natural ingredients.
Then, I like to set the air fryer at 375° for 5 minutes.
Next
While the chicken is reheating, measure out 3 ounces of carrots (again it’s ok if it’s a little over) and place them into a measuring bowl.
Measure 6ml of extra virgin olive oil… I just drizzle it on top until the food scale reads 6ml.
Measure out 1 teaspoon of each seasoning… Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb, as well as Kinder’s ‘The Blend.’
Mix the carrots really well so each piece is coated… see the photo below.
Weigh out 2oz of cucumbers (I do this on a cutting board), and chop them into bite-size pieces, add them into the mixing bowl.
Then add 1oz of lettuce into the mixing bowl.
Top that with 30g of Bolthouse dressing ( I always struggle to get exactly 30g each time).
Top with 28g of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Now
Chicken should almost be done, so while it finishes up. Take a skillet and place it on medium heat. I always throw my tortilla on top while it heats up.
That way I can cut up the chicken into tiny cubes.
So now the air fryer is free. (You do not need to spray it again). Because the carrots have oil on them. Throw the carrots into the air fryer.
Cook at 400° for 22 minutes.
Don’t forget your tortilla, flip it and make sure the other side gets heated too. It should have little freckles on it and feel semi-firm (not too firm).
The other side won’t need as much heating make sure to leave it a little soft. Now time to assemble.
Almost Done
First layer the chicken…
Next, add the mixing bowl of vegetables and dressing/cheese.
It will look pretty bulky that is ok.
Finally
Wrap both sides of the chicken wrap in and hold it with a toothpick. Then take your carrots out of the air fryer and serve along the side.
Enjoy… Bon-A-Petite
Yes, it will feel a little awkward to eat at first, however. It is filling, light, and delicious. Don’t think too much about how to take the first bite, just dig in. If you want to add a dash of reduced-sugar ketchup (not featured) go for it. Carrots should take replicas of sweet potato fries.
