These delicious chicken wraps with bacon and blue cheese are perfect for a quick, easy dinner on busy weeknights! Prepare a delicious dinner your family will love in only 10 minutes!
Some weeknights rate a 10 on the crazy schedule scale for us. I would venture to say that anyone with kids has experienced evenings like that from time to time!
With school starting in a couple of weeks, I know our schedule is going to shift into high gear soon. Some evenings, there is absolutely no time for me to cook. So what's a busy mom to do? Do we resort to overpriced and nutritionally questionable fast food?
I used to do that from time to time, but not anymore! Instead, I have a some go-to meals that require few ingredients, little prep time, and yet are still family-pleasers!
This recipe is a lifesaver on those really crazy weeknights. Usually I will know ahead of time that one of our upcoming evenings will be extremely busy, and I can plan around it. I love this meal because it literally takes 10 minutes to throw together and get in front of the kids!
The key for this dinner is to have the right ingredients handy. The chicken needs to be already cooked and cubed. The bacon needs to be already cooked and crumbled.
You can certainly cook the chicken and bacon yourself as part of the prep for this dish if you have the time! That would be the cheapest and best way to do it, but obviously that takes a little more time and effort.
If I know this meal is slated for a really busy evening, I streamline by either cooking the chicken and bacon ahead of time, or I buy the pre-cooked chicken and the real bacon crumbles.
My best tip for this is to plan to make it the same week as you make my Slow Cooker Whole Chicken. That way, you can have the chicken one night, and then use the leftovers to make these wraps.
Or, if your family tends to eat all of the chicken so that there aren't really any leftovers, your best bet might be just to make a whole chicken on the weekend, slice it up, and freeze it to use in this recipe or another chicken recipe, like my Fiesta Chicken Salad.
That way, making this dinner is just a matter of putting it all together.
This meal was a hit with the whole family. Thing 1 and Thing 2 did not even complain about the tomatoes, although I admit I found a few left on their plates that had been picked out! But I think a few made it into their tummies, too. Score!
Thing 2 rating = 3.5 out of 5 biscuits! However, the only thing he did not like was the tomatoes, so I personally think I should have gotten a higher score! Thing 2...he is a tough one!! (*shaking my head*)

Your Bacon Blue Cheese Wraps are SUCH a great busy weeknight meal and sounds like they have amazing flavor! These are definitely going on my TO MAKE list!
Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life
There are nights we need meals like this too. We always have leftover chicken, because we belong to a chicken CSA so we get a chicken every week. When we roast one up, we always have leftovers for burritos, chicken salad, and now your recipe! This is perfect for those hectic nights -- thank you for linking it up with us at Foodie Fridays!!

Your recipe looks divine. I normally don't eat blue cheese but with bacon and all these other luscious ingredients I think I may just give it a try.

Mmmm, fantastic flavorful wrap! Great idea on using pre-cooked chicken. Saves time and no one knows the difference!
