What makes this grilled chicken wrap so good?
What I love most about this simple recipe is that it’s delicious and nutritious. The combination of lean grilled tender chicken, fresh mix of green leaf lettuce, and flaxseed flat bread creates a meal that satisfies hunger without the heaviness of a traditional sandwich. Whether you’re looking for a healthy lunch, a light dinner, or a portable meal for busy days, this wrap delivers on all fronts.
Why you should try this recipe
The Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap stands out from other grilled chicken sandwich recipes for several reasons. Unlike typical white flour tortillas, the flaxseed flatbread offers a nutty flavor and provides nutritional benefits, including omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. The grilled (not fried) protein-packed chicken wrap provides lean protein while still delivering that signature Chick-fil-A flavor.
The combination of two cheeses—sharp cheddar and creamy Colby Jack—creates a depth of flavor that perfectly complements the charred notes of the grilled chicken. When paired with the creamy, tangy Avocado Lime Ranch dressing, every bite offers a mix of textures and flavors that keeps you returning for more.
Chick-fil-A Chicken Wrap Ingredients
To make Cool Wraps, you need:
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – Provides the lean protein foundation of the wrap with mild flavor that absorbs marinades beautifully
- Lettuce (preferably romaine) – Delivers essential crunch and freshness while adding volume without calories
- Cheddar cheese, shredded – Contributes a sharp, tangy flavor that contrasts with the mild chicken
- Colby Jack cheese, shredded – Adds creamy, mild flavor and excellent melting properties for texture contrast
- Flaxseed flour wraps, large – Creates the distinctive nutty flavor base and adds significant nutritional benefits, including omega-3s
- Avocado Ranch Lime Dressing – Provides creamy tanginess that ties all components together while adding moisture
How to make this grilled chicken cool wrap recipe
To prep the ingredients for the copycat Chick-fil-A wrap:
- Slice the cooked grilled chicken into strips approximately finger-width in width. Set the cut chicken aside for later.Â
- Wash and dry the lettuce. Shred the lettuce into thin strips. Reserve.
To assemble a Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap:
- Place the flaxseed wrap on the counter.
- Spread a thin layer of Avocado Ranch Lime Dressing onto the center of the piece of flatbread, leaving a 1-inch border all around. The dressing helps the lettuce stick to the wrap, but you can leave it off if you want to follow Chick-fil-A’s serving method. If you leave the dressing off the wrap, use it as a dip instead.Â
- Cover the dressing with the shredded crispy lettuce.Â
- Sprinkle the two kinds of shredded cheese over the lettuce and place the chicken strips in a line a third of the way from the bottom.
- Carefully fold the sides of the wrap towards the filling and roll the wrap up from the bottom.
- Cut in half and serve.
What to serve it with
On the side, options like Quinoa Salad, roasted veggies, or sliced fresh fruit with Cool Whip Dip will keep things light, but an Awesome Blossom or a platter of Aussie Fries may be a little more satisfying.
Storage & Reheating Instructions for Leftover Wraps
- Refrigerator Storage: Store assembled wraps wrapped in an airtight container for up to 1 day; components stored separately will last up to 3 days in airtight containers.
- Reheating Method: Best enjoyed cold. If reheating is necessary, remove the dish from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving to bring it to room temperature.
- Freezing:Â is not recommended, as lettuce and cheese do not freeze well, and wraps become soggy when thawed.

Copycat Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Cool Wrap
Ingredients
Grilled Chicken Breast
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced in half horizontally and pounded thin
- ½ cup dill pickle juice
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon celery salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil to brush the grill
Wrap
- 4 8-inch flaxseed wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup colby jack cheese
- Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing or dressing of your choice (optional)
Instructions
Chicken
- Place the chicken, dill pickle juice, and buttermilk in a zip-top bag. Place the bag in the fridge, and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for several hours.
- Prepare the seasoning blend by combing salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery salt in a small bowl. Season chicken with the seasoning blend on both sides of the chicken.
- Heat the grill to 350°F or use a grill pan. Brush the grill with oil.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165°F when you remove it from the grill.
Wrap
- Lay the wrap flat and top with about ¼ cup shredded lettuce in the center. Avoid adding any ingredients in the outer 1-inch perimeter of the wrap. You will need this space for folding and rolling your wrap.
- Top with strips of grilled chicken and shredded cheese. You will likely use 5-6 strips of chicken.
- Fold in the wrap over the top and bottom space of the ingredients.
- Then fold one side of the wrap over the ingredients and towards the other side. Tuck under the ingredients tightly.
- From here, roll the wrap up into a tight wrap, tucking in any excess sides along the way. Be sure to make it tight!
- Use a sharp knife and cut the wrap in half before you enjoy!
- Serve with avocado ranch dressing or the dressing of your choice.
Notes
Tips for Perfect Results Every Time
- Pat the lettuce completely dry after washing to prevent a soggy wrap.
- Apply dressing sparingly directly to the wrap rather than mixing with ingredients.
- Cheese works better at room temperature, so take it out of the refrigerator 10 minutes before assembly.
- Don’t overstuff – it’s tempting, but it makes rolling much more difficult.
- Roll it tightly but gently to avoid tearing the wrap.
