Ingredients
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions
I season the chicken breast with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
I air fry the chicken at 200°C (400°F) for 15 to 20 minutes, or bake it for about 25 minutes until fully cooked.
I finely blend the dill pickle, pickle juice, scallions, and celery until everything is evenly combined.
I shred the cooked chicken using two forks.
I mix the shredded chicken with the pickle seasoning mixture, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise.
I taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
I slice the cucumber into long, thin strips.
I fill the tortillas with the shredded chicken mixture, cucumber strips, and cherry tomatoes.

Variations
I sometimes swap the chicken breast for rotisserie chicken to save time.
I like adding shredded lettuce for extra crunch and freshness.
I occasionally use whole wheat tortillas for a heartier wrap.
I add sliced avocado when I want a creamier texture.
I replace the cherry tomatoes with diced bell peppers for a different flavor profile.
I use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt when I want a richer filling.
Storage/Reheating
I store the shredded chicken mixture separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the freshest texture, I keep the cucumber strips and tomatoes separate until serving.
When I am ready to eat, I assemble the wraps fresh. If I prefer warm chicken, I gently reheat the chicken mixture in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds before filling the tortillas.
FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
I can prepare the chicken mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. I prefer assembling the wraps just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breast?
Yes, I often use rotisserie chicken when I need a quicker meal. I simply shred it and mix it with the prepared dressing.
What type of tortillas work best?
I like using large flour tortillas because they roll easily and hold the filling well. Whole wheat tortillas also work nicely.
Can I freeze the chicken mixture?
I can freeze the chicken mixture for up to 2 months. I thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before serving and add fresh vegetables after thawing.
How can I make this recipe lighter?
I reduce the mayonnaise or replace it entirely with Greek yogurt. I also load the wraps with extra vegetables for a lighter meal.
Conclusion
I find this Shredded Chicken Wrap With Cucumber to be a simple and flavorful meal that comes together quickly. The creamy chicken filling, tangy pickle flavor, crunchy cucumber, and juicy tomatoes create a refreshing wrap that works for lunch, dinner, or meal prep. Whenever I need an easy and satisfying recipe, this wrap is one of my favorite choices.
