Ingredients
Scale
Egg Wrap
- 6 large Egg Whites (Substitution: Egg substitutes can be used for a vegan option but may alter the texture.)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (Note: Can be replaced with arrowroot powder.)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (Substitution: Sea salt can be used.)
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (Optional; the wraps can be made without it but may be more brittle.)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (Substitution: Olive oil can be used for a healthier choice.)
Fillings and Spread
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise (Substitution: Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter version.)
- 2 tablespoons Pesto (Any herb-based sauce can serve as a substitute.)
- 1 cup Romaine Lettuce (Use any leafy greens as a substitute.)
- 1 medium Avocado (Substitution: Sliced cucumbers for a lower-calorie option.)
- 1 cup Cooked Chicken Tenders (Substitution: Shredded turkey or plant-based chicken can be used.)
- 3 slices Cooked Bacon (Substitution: Turkey bacon or a vegan alternative can be used.)
- 1 medium Ripe Tomato (Substitution: Any seasonal tomato or roasted red pepper can be used.)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients. Crack the eggs and separate the whites, measuring out six large egg whites into a mixing bowl.
- Make the Egg Wrap Batter: In a bowl, combine the egg whites, cornstarch, kosher salt, xanthan gum (if using), and half of the vegetable oil. Whisk the mixture until smooth and well-blended, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Cook the Egg Wraps: Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour a portion of the egg white mixture into the skillet, spreading evenly to form a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set and the surface looks mostly dry, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the wrap is lightly golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter to make multiple wraps.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the cooked egg wrap flat and spread a generous layer of mayonnaise followed by pesto on top. Layer on the shredded cooked chicken tenders, crispy bacon slices, crunchy romaine lettuce, creamy avocado slices, and juicy tomato slices, distributing evenly.
- Roll the Wraps: Carefully roll or fold the egg wraps tightly around the filling to enclose all ingredients inside, creating a neat and packed wrap.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the Chicken Club Egg White Wraps immediately while fresh, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day for a convenient healthy lunch on the go.
Notes
- Xanthan gum is optional but helps improve the texture and flexibility of the egg wraps.
