When you’re looking for a quick, satisfying breakfast that’s both nutritious and delicious, a chicken and bell pepper breakfast wrap is the perfect choice. This easy-to-make wrap is packed with protein, colorful vegetables, and a burst of flavor that will kickstart your day. Whether you’re running out the door or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, this wrap is a versatile, satisfying option.
The base of this breakfast wrap is lean chicken breast, which is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and a dash of your favorite spices. When sautéed until golden, the chicken becomes tender and juicy, making it the perfect protein-packed filling. Paired with bell peppers, full of vitamin C and a hint of sweetness, the combination adds both nutrition and a touch of color to your wrap. You can use any bell pepper color you prefer – red, yellow, or green, each bringing its own slightly different flavor.
To prepare the wrap, sauté the chicken pieces with chopped bell peppers and onions for extra flavor and texture. You can add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or even a sprinkle of cheese for an extra layer of flavor. Once the chicken and peppers are cooked, simply spoon the mixture into a whole wheat or spinach tortilla, roll it up, and your delicious, protein-packed breakfast is ready to go.
For a richer breakfast, you can add scrambled eggs or avocado for healthy fats. You can even toss in some fresh spinach for an extra boost of greens or a drizzle of salsa for added zest. This wrap is highly customizable, allowing you to adjust the ingredients based on your preferences.
Chicken and bell pepper breakfast wraps are also perfect for meal prep. Make a batch, wrap them up, and store them in the fridge for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast all week long.

Yum! I’ve gotta try this. Sounds amazing!
My kids gobbled these up! Easy and quick for busy mornings.
Can I use frozen bell peppers? I don’t have fresh ones, would that work?
Yeah, frozen bell peppers should be fine! Just make sure to thaw them first. They’ll taste good!
Yum!!! 😍 So cheesy and filling. I’m gonna try adding avocado next time!
I don’t know about this. It seems like a lot of work for a breakfast. Why not just a bowl of cereal?
But it’s so much tastier than cereal! Plus, you get protein. Yum!
I dunno, sounds kinda fancy for breakfast! Can’t a person just have their cereal in peace?
This was super delicious! My kids loved it and asked for more. Will def make again!
The cheddar cheese makes everything better. I could eat these every day!
Could use more seasoning… I added some chili flakes and it made it better. Just saying!
Okay, I made it but forgot the onion. Still turned out pretty good, maybe even better! 😂
I think chicken for breakfast is kinda weird. But my partner liked it a lot. So I guess it’s a win??
I used to think that too, but it’s actually really filling! Give it a try, you might like it! 😊
I found the recipe really basic. It’s just chicken and peppers, nothing special.
This is super yummy! I added some avocado too, it was delish!
I tried this recipe but forgot the onions, still taste alright tho.
Glad it still turned out tasty! Onions are great but not the end of the world if you forget them. 😊
No onions? Really? They’re kinda the main flavor for me. You must’ve added something else to make it work?
Tasty wraps! Next time I might add some spices, maybe cumin or something.
