I’m just starting my Friday morning, having already put in 50 hours at my real job. Adulting is hard. Right now all I am doing is longing for the days of someone else packing my lunches, so I could skip off to school, have someone shuttle me around to fastpitch and volleyball practice, and back and forth to everything I had going on, and only having to do a few measly hours of homework every day then leave it all behind not letting it languish on my brain like a bad dream. Not to mention – have someone else make me dinner! THAT was living the dream! Now, if only I could master my I Dream of Jeannie blink and take me back there. If anyone has honed that particular skill, let me know your ways!
In the mean time, I’m going to living vicariously through these chicken fingers to get my fix of my school days gone by. How is it back to school time already?! Well, it’s here and don’t worry, I have you covered with these easy, healthy baked ranch chicken wraps for an on the go snack or a quick dinner!
If you’re in a hurry, I figured out how you can make these homemade chicken fingers, and freeze them so you can reheat them in a hurry, or your kids can even make them on their own for their own on-the-go wraps.
And if it’s hard to get them packing veggies in their pie holes, have an assortment of veggies on hand to inspire them to find their custom veggie combo. I was, and still am, a sucker for avocados, so I knew these had to make an appearance. And to get the super tasty ranch flavor in the chicken strips, I used Tessemae’s Classic Ranch dressing in the wash to infuse their fresh clean flavor into the chicken strips!
And if you’re not feeling the wrap, for your on the go, try these in a salad, I’ve gone bonkers for the mason jar salad trend, adding all of these veggies, and fresh corn into the bottom of a mason jar, topping it with Tessemae’s dressing, and then with arugula and sealing the jar just so I can shake it and devour it for lunch! It’s been a perfectly portioned way to eat on the go.
Tessemae’s has a line of versatile, olive oil based dressings that are paleo, vegan, and Whole30 approved! The flavors are explosive, fresh and oh so delicious. Because these dressing are preservative free, they solidify gently in the fridge, but with a gently shake, they’re ready for top your favorite wrap.
And they’re not just great on wraps and salads – did you see my Strawberry Honey Mustard South Carolina BBQ Sauce Grilled Chicken? Get on it!! And if you need more inspiration, check out Tessemae’s Blog for more great recipes!

Yikes! I hope your work schedule eases up a bit soon! I know how you feel girl–I wish my lunch and dinner were all perfectly portioned and sitting there waiting for me every day!
In the meantime…these chicken wraps look phenomenal! I could totally picture myself making chicken fingers earlier in the week and just throwing them into a wrap.Â
These look so good! Ranch chicken made into a healthy wrap…sounds like perfection!
Yum! These are perfect for busy days (aka every day). Hope things slow down for you. These wraps looks awesome!Â
I’m pretty sure my kids would love this recipe. They love tortillas but mainly unhealthy ones. This is a great way to combine healthy and their favorite tortillas!
