BBQ Chicken Flatbread Wrap in 12 Minutes or Less

An easy-to-prep flatbread with 47g of protein that might just help flatten your stomach

It’s hard to find quick takeout options these days with a good amount of protein.

The salad bars and healthy bowl spots come close, but one look at their nutrition guides and you’ll see most of their items fill you up with either fat or carbs.

No other place is more guilty of this than fast-casual cafés like Panera.

The food looks wholesome on the outside, but under the hood, the calorie-to-protein ratio is horrendous.

• Apple chicken salad? 560 calories, 33g of protein.

• Bacon turkey bravo sandwich? 870 calories, 48g of protein

It takes real talent to make a chicken salad and turkey sandwich this unhealthy.

I won’t even get started with the seasonal soups and flatbreads, but you get the picture.

With macros like these, the food tastes good, no doubt, but the aftermath will leave a bad taste in your mouth.

This Panera-style BBQ Chicken Flatbread won’t.

Inspired by a discontinued Panera flatbread, I’ve got two versions of it that give you all the flavor of a high-calorie café item, but with more than a teaspoon of protein.

With both versions coming at 47g of protein or more for under 500 calories, you’ll get smoky BBQ chicken, crunchy crispy onions, fresh arugula, and creamy reduced-fat shredded cheese.

And since we’re using pre-cooked chicken in the faster version, it takes just as long to make as it would to pick up something similar. That way you can focus on what really matters:

Getting something healthy in your belly fast and actually enjoying it.

Ready to show those cafés we can do better? Then let’s do it.
