"This makes a really quick meal for us," writes Gary Phile from Ravenna, Ohio. "It's so easy-and the cleanup is just as easy if you line the cookie sheet with foil. My wife likes to add a dollop of sour cream in hers and I sometimes use tomato basil pesto sauce."

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Pesto Wraps:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the wraps will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful pesto.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, but still juicy.
  • Use a good quality pesto: The pesto is the key ingredient in these wraps, so make sure you use a good quality one. You can make your own pesto or buy a jarred pesto from the store.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: These wraps are very versatile, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients. Try adding different vegetables, cheeses, or proteins.
