These hearty, delicious wraps are a fun and creative way to serve dinner or pack lunch to go. Habanero hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion give our homemade BBQ chicken wraps an irresistible, classic Southern flavor. Another secret ingredient? Diet soda! The chicken is grilled or broiled, then shredded so it can soak up as much of that delicious sauce as possible.

Ingredients

Diet soda

1 cup(s)

Ketchup

1 cup(s)

Worcestershire sauce

¼ cup(s)

Hot pepper sauce

1 tsp(s), habanero-variety recommended

Steak sauce

3 tbsp(s)

Dehydrated onion flakes

1 tsp(s)

Garlic powder

1 tsp(s)

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

1½ pound(s)

Table salt

tsp(s), or more

Black pepper

pinch(es), or more

Whole wheat tortilla

4 medium

Mixed greens

1 cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or broiler.
  2. Combine soda, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, steak sauce, onion flakes and garlic powder in a heavy saucepan; gradually bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat slightly to obtain a gentle simmer; simmer barbecue sauce until reduced by a quarter, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, start to prepare chicken. Season chicken with salt and pepper; grill or broil chicken until cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove chicken from grill and pull apart into shredded bite-size pieces with 2 forks (so you don’t burn your hands).
  4. Combine chicken and barbecue sauce in a medium bowl; mix to evenly coat chicken.
  5. Divide chicken mixture among tortillas, spooning about 1 cup of filling onto bottom half of each tortilla; top with mixed greens. Fold tortilla bottom over filling and then fold sides in toward centre to enclose filling. Yields 1 wrap per serving.

Notes

For a change of pace, you can serve the chicken mixture over mashed potatoes or brown rice. Or you could plate the chicken with a light cabbage coleslaw along with some cornbread for a pretty presentation and hearty, yummy dinner.
