Recipe: Ranch Chicken Wraps
Need a dinner recipe that’s sure to get everyone to the table? We’re calling on a homemade ranch to get the job done. In 15 minutes you’ll have a fresh home-cooked meal so good you might even call it a miracle.
Ditch the Bottled Ranch in Favor of DIY
What makes this recipe stand out from the crowd is that it bypasses the bottles of store-bought ranch dressing for a super-quick homemade version. Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, and chopped fresh herbs come together to form a ranch dressing that’s fresher than the bottled stuff and also extra creamy and tangy. Tossed with the cooked chicken while it’s still warm (and then drizzled over the wraps before digging in — just for good measure), it lends that ranch flavor we all know and love to a dinner everyone will request again and again.
