Enjoy a lunch upgrade with crispy chicken strip wraps

Only good things can happen when a crunchy green salad meets crispy crumbed chicken strips, flavourful croutons, and a zesty dressing!

If you’re looking for a quick and satisfying mid-week meal that delivers on flavour and crunch, crispy chicken strip wraps with Caesar dressing are your new go-to. These delicious wraps combine chicken with the creamy tang of Caesar dressing, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla for the perfect balance of textures. For those who like a little something extra, feel free to customise your wrap. Add thin slices of red onion for a touch of sharpness, cherry tomatoes for a pop of sweetness, or even a slice of bacon for an added smoky layer. Recipe compliments of Astral Chicken.
