Introduction
If you’re looking for a dish that combines the savory flavors of a classic club sandwich with the convenience of a wrap, you’re in for a treat! This Classic Chicken Club Wrap with avocado and bacon is inspired by the traditional club sandwich, a beloved American dish known for its layers of protein, fresh vegetables, and rich flavors. By transforming this classic into a wrap, we keep everything you love but add a modern twist that’s easy to enjoy anytime, anywhere.
I love making these wraps for picnics or quick lunches because they are not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients. The addition of creamy avocado and the tangy Dijon sauce brings a unique balance to the dish, making every bite a burst of texture and flavor. Plus, it’s versatile enough to tweak according to your preferences—perfect for both picky eaters and gourmet palates alike!
Ingredients
To prepare this comforting Classic Chicken Club Wrap with Avocado, Bacon, and Creamy Dijon Sauce, you’ll need:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 8 slices chiken, cooked until crispy
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 4 large lettuce leaves (romaine or green leaf)
- 4 large tortillas or wraps (spinach or sundried tomato flavored are great)
- 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Feel free to make substitutions based on dietary needs. For instance, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon for a lower-fat option or opt for a gluten-free tortilla to make this recipe gluten-friendly. The Dijon mustard can also be swapped with a honey mustard for a milder, sweeter flavor that pairs beautifully with the bacon.
How to Make Classic Chicken Club Wrap
Follow these steps to create your own delicious Classic Chicken Club Wrap with Avocado, Bacon, and Creamy Dijon Sauce:
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lime juice to create the sauce.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay out each tortilla and spread the Dijon sauce in the center. Next, layer lettuce leaves on top of the sauce. Add sliced tomatoes and avocado.
- Add the Protein: Top the vegetables with slices of the cooked chicken and two slices of crispy bacon for each wrap.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the fillings, then roll up the tortilla tightly like a burrito.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.
These wraps can be easily customized with your favorite add-ins. Try adding cheddar cheese, red onions, or even some jalapeños for an extra kick. Don’t forget to ensure that the wraps are rolled tightly to avoid any filling from spilling out—this is key to a perfectly wrapped wrap!
Helpful Tips
- Avoid Soggy Wraps: To prevent sogginess, pat the lettuce and tomatoes dry with paper towels before adding them to the wrap. This keeps the tortillas fresh and intact for longer.
- Chicken Shortcuts: If you’re in a hurry, consider using rotisserie chicken or even grilled chicken strips to save time without sacrificing flavor.
- Perfect Avocado Slices: To achieve perfect avocado slices, make sure your avocados are ripe but not overly soft. This gives you the creamy texture without the avocado turning to mush.
Cooking Tips
Here are some extra cooking tips to make your Chicken Club Wraps even better:
- Use a grill pan for the chicken to add a smoky flavor and beautiful grill marks, enhancing the overall presentation.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling the wrap. This makes them more pliable and easier to fold.
- Sharp knife for slicing: Use a sharp knife to slice the chicken thinly for easy layering and better distribution of flavors.
Serving Suggestions
These Classic Chicken Club Wraps are fantastic on their own, but here are some ideas to elevate your meal even further:
- Serve with Sweet Potato Fries: The sweetness and crispiness of sweet potato fries make a delicious contrast to the savory wrap.
- Add a Fresh Salad: Pair the wraps with a light side salad made of mixed greens, cucumbers, and a simple vinaigrette for a refreshing complement.
- Beverage Pairings: A crisp, cold lemonade or a light, fruity iced tea would balance out the richness of the wraps perfectly.
These wraps are great for lunch, dinner, or even a hearty snack. Their versatility means you can enjoy them year-round, whether you’re eating them warm or cold.

Storage and Leftovers
Refrigerate: If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure to separate the sauce from the wrap if possible to prevent sogginess.
Reheat: For best results, reheat the wraps in a skillet or oven to keep the tortilla from getting soggy. Avoid the microwave as it can make the tortillas too soft and mushy.
If you have extra ingredients like chicken or bacon, store them separately in airtight containers and use them in other dishes such as salads or sandwiches.
