Chicken, Cranberry, Pecan Salad Wraps – a super lunch or wonderful addition! This salad is perfect for any occasion and very easy to make. Chicken, Cranberry, Pecan Salad Wraps – delicious and satisfying!
Salad can be perfect addition with lunch or dinner but someone eat salad like main dish. Salad with chicken, fruit and vegetables is often on my menu and my children like it very much especially when I roll it in the wraps.
Of course like all other children mine don’t like all vegetables too. I am using some tricks and make many interesting combinations with wraps, dressings, seasons, mayonnaise and on that way this become my children’s favorite meal. You can prepare chicken on many different ways and I know that you tried lots of combinations so that’s why I choose this salad for you.
This is perfect combination of chicken, cranberry, pecan and celery and I know you will be very satisfied when you taste this. I was pretty surprise when I taste this for the first time how all this things go perfect together. I like this recipe because I can make it for a very short time spend in the kitchen so if you want something nice and quick this Chicken Cranberry Pecan Salad Wrap is perfect choice for you. Easy and quick salad with interesting taste and it is very practical because you serve it in small wraps which are very good for children. Celery is right ingredient for this salad and it gives super taste. It also goes perfectly with chicken and cranberry but you can use it with different ingredients.
There are plenty of similar recipes on thetexastasty.com. My family likes this combination and I serve it like a main dish even it is low in calories it has all that’s important. I really like this combination of sweet cranberry, chicken, crispy pecan, mayonnaise and seasons. Something that is very interesting with this recipe is all these beautiful colors which look really good rolled in wraps. Easy and quick preparing is one reason more to make this super salad and I know you will love it. So fresh, so tasty you need to make your perfect combination and enjoy!

I was wonder what the white cubes were I thought it was jicama, the name I saw you said celery root but I think your recipe says just celery. Looks tasty. My family doesn’t like mayo so o think I will use sour cream and jicama.
Samantha Ryan says
How do you recommend cooking the chicken and what is the best way to shred it?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Samantha, I usually place chicken in large pot and cover with chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Allow chicken to cook until heated through, this usually takes 20-25 minutes depending on the size.Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and place on a plate or cutting board and shred the chicken using two forks.Good luck and enjoy!
Linda W. says
you can season and bake the chicken or use a rotisserie chicken from the store like I sometimes do to save time.

Sara says
I like to add some apple to mine. Have also substituted cranberries with grapes and use walnuts instead of pecans. I love chicken salad on a croissant, but the wrap sounds really good.
Erica says
Hello… have you tried to freeze the chicken salad?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Erica, I haven’t tried that but I think it will do okay at freezing
Sarah says
Canot freeze mayo. The mayo breaks apart.
doughboy says
DELICIOUS! I made some additions:
used walnut crumbs in place of pecans, added 1/4 cup hulled sunflower seeds, mixed poppy seed dressing 1/2 & 1/2 with Miracle whip and added a small bag of Kale Salad Mix. Mixed it all together placed it on Spinach Tortillas and rolled up to make a wrap. Chopped the kale salad a little more and it made the shreaded chicken go much farther adding a crunchy texture and more flavour to the Chicken Salad! This has become a family and catering favourite! Thank you!

Is there a trick to getting these rolled up tight. I’ve made things in the

I’m planning on making these for trip to Maine with my husband, father and his friend. We are going to a show and its my dads b-day. But what I’m planning on doing is slicing it to no more than half inch and using as a snack after the show! (Or use as appetizer)!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM!!
Lidia Simic says
🙂
Michele says
We really enjoyed this yummy recipe. I toasted the pecans, added 1/8 teaspoon curry powder, and I used Veganese instead of mayo. Also, I didn’t make them too far ahead because I didn’t want the pecans to loose their crunchiness. Came out great. Making them again today for a mom’s Bible study brunch.
Lidia Simic says
Thank you for such a nice comment Michele! I’m glad that you like the recipe! 🙂
Debi says
Hello Lidia,
This recipe looks good. I was wondering if you could use cream cheese in place of the mayo, because I can’t have mayo. Thanks for sharing.
Lidia Simic says
Hi Debi, I think that’s a great idea or you can use Greek yogurt or light sour cream (more or less depending on personal preference) instead of mayo. Enjoy!
Connie says
Quick and easy shredded chicken can be made in an Instant Pot, my new favorite appliance. You can cook fresh or even frozen chicken breasts in a jiffy and shred them for use in multiple recipes.
I can’t wait to try this delicious looking recipe.
Denise says
Made this tonight and it was delicious, hubby even gave it a thumbs up. Used fresh chicken breast shredded.
Lidia Simic says
Thank you for such a nice comment Denise! I’m glad that you like the recipe! 🙂
IFortuna says
Looks delicious! I think I would puree the chicken to make a smoother filling and thereby making it easier to roll. I would also put a layer of butter or cream cheese on the wrap so it does not get soggy. I , also, lightly cook my tortillas (dry or buttered pan) before using them in order to get rid of the raw flour taste and add a toasty flavor. By the way, toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor. Much better than raw.

Leona Hotaling says
I made this two days ago for lunch with my aunt. I used whole wheat wraps and we both had lettuce on our wrap. I did not use the parsley. I loved this, my aunt loved it. This is going in my list of things to make when it is hot or I need something special. I only have the use of one arm and was nervous about shredding the chicken but I took my stainless steel bowl and sat in my recliner and did ok with it.
Lidia Simic says
Thank you for such a nice comment! I’m glad that you like the recipe! 🙂
Lindy says
You can shred chicken in your mixer. When it is done cooking place warm chicken in mixer bowl and turn on low. It will shred it perfectly very quickly! Much easier if you only have use of one hand. ?
Lee Brittain-Curry says
Hi Linda. Don’t know if you will see my comment since I am writing almost a year after your posting but…try putting your chicken in the bowl of a stand up mixer and put it on low. The paddle does a GREAT job at shredding chicken. Found that tip on line over a year ago & am SO thankful that I did. (You can probably do it with hand mixer as well but more cumbersome I would think.)
Yummiest Food says
Thank you for such a great idea and comment, Lee! 🙂
DeeDee says
You can put warm cooked chicken in a stand mixer, with a paddle atachment and it sheds easily and quickly.
Doctor Grandma Jeannie says
You can use an electric mixer to shred chicken quickly and easily.

Janie says
I wonder why a reader said it isn’t good with canned chicken. Was thinking of taking on trip “unassembled” and putting together at hotel suite. Any thoughts?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Janie, The canned chicken has plenty of salt, but you can replace the cooked, shredded chicken with canned chicken if you desire. Hope that helps!
Kimberly says
Made this recipe twice from leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Made it for me for my school lunches, but made the mistake of sending it with my husband for his 3am supper at work. Needless to say, he LOVED it so much, I had to share. Thus, making it twice. Thank you for sharing.
Lidia Simic says
You’re very welcome, Kimberly! 🙂 I’m glad you like the recipe!
Tammy says
I am keto, so am going to substitute mayo for cream cheese (drop the cranberries ?) and instead of doing a wrap, use celery sticks and the chicken mixture as a dip.
bz says
Layer the wrap with a “SPOONFUL” of the chicken mixture? Obviously a big spoon.
Lidia Simic says
Hi Bz, Yes you are right. Enjoy!
Miguel says
Hi this looks really good, what would be a good side with this, some chips perhaps
Lidia Simic says
Hi Miguel, that would be yummy! Apples work well in this recipe. Thanks for the comment!
