This is one of those recipes that proves you don’t have to give up your favorite foods — you just need a better version.
This Homemade McChicken Wrap brings all the crispy, creamy flavor of the drive-thru original — but it’s made with real ingredients, clean spices, and no deep fryer in sight.

We’re using juicy pan-crisped chicken tenders, a creamy homemade mayo-style sauce, crisp lettuce, and soft wraps to recreate that McDonald’s classic — in a healthier, weeknight-friendly way. Total comfort food with zero guilt.

Ingredients:

For the chicken:

• 1 lb chicken tenders or thin-sliced chicken breast

• ½ cup almond flour or whole wheat breadcrumbs

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional for extra crisp)

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil for cooking

For the wrap:

• 4 whole wheat or gluten-free wraps

• 1 cup shredded lettuce

• Optional: tomato slices, shredded cheese

For the clean McChicken-style sauce:

• ¼ cup avocado oil mayo or Greek yogurt

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• Pinch of paprika and garlic powder

• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep the chicken
   In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip chicken pieces into the beaten egg, then into the coating mixture.

2. Cook the chicken
   Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden, crispy, and cooked through.

3. Mix the sauce
   In a small bowl, stir together mayo, mustard, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.

4. Assemble the wraps
   Warm your wraps slightly. Spread a spoonful of sauce down the center, add shredded lettuce, a few slices of tomato (if using), and a piece or two of crispy chicken.

5. Wrap and serve
   Fold, roll, and enjoy warm! Perfect with sweet potato wedges or a simple side salad.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it dairy-free: Skip the Parmesan and use a dairy-free mayo or yogurt.

• Add spice: Mix in some hot sauce or cayenne to the sauce for a spicy version.

• Low carb? Use lettuce wraps or grain-free tortillas.

• Meal prep win: Cook extra chicken and store for wraps or salads throughout the week.
