Keto BBQ chicken roll-ups are perfect for lunch, cookouts, or as a tasty party food. It’s an easy and tasty way to use leftover chicken, too.
BBQ Chicken Roll Ups
We all need brainlessly-easy recipes for those days when cooking feels like a chore. And that’s exactly what I made.
You won’t have to create the BBQ sauce from scratch or make complicated homemade wraps.
And you can even use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from other recipes! With only 2 grams net carbs in each one, this is a recipe that will go in your “must-make” pile.
It’s easy enough to whip up for a quick lunch, stores well for your weekly meal prep, and will even work as a filling entree for dinner. Do you need something for a party?
Grab this recipe! Everyone will gobble it up and not even ask if it’s low-carb.
Oh, and bonus – it’s also gluten-free!
Keto Chicken Roll Ups
Do you have leftover cooked chicken breasts or things that you need to use up? Shred or chop it up and use it in this easy recipe.
These roll-ups are literally ready in like ten minutes.
What should you eat with them? That depends on when you’re eating it.
If you’re serving it for dinner, make some low carb cauliflower mash on the side. It has 5g net carbs per serving, so it can easily go with it.
Or mix up the flavors and make someKeto Shrimp Egg Roll In A Bowl or Keto Egg Roll Wraps.
For something with a lot more flavor, make either my Keto TikTok Salmon Sushi Nori Cups or my Keto TikTok Egg Boil. Both are bursting with Asian flavor.
Best Keto Wraps
There are two different ways to make keto-friendly wraps. You can either use low-carb tortillas or turn shredded cheese into zero-carb wraps.
I used tortillas when I made Keto Cheesy Beef Roll Ups, Crispy Low Carb Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Roll Ups, and Keto Crispy Italian Sub Roll Ups. But they have more carbs in them, so that’s only an option if you have room in your macros.
For these roll-ups, I used shredded cheese as wraps. You basically melt cheese into the shape of a wrap and then wrap it around the chicken.
I did this when I made Keto Coleslaw Chicken Salad Roll Ups, Keto Spinach and Bacon Cream Cheese Roll Ups, and Keto In-N-Out Animal Style Burger Copycat Roll Ups With Sauce.
It only takes like 8 minutes to make these cheese wraps.
Keto BBQ Sauce
I kept this recipe really easy and used sugar-free BBQ sauce instead of making it homemade. It saves you so much time and energy but if you want to make homemade sauce, go ahead.
My favorite brand of sugar-free BBQ sauce is from G. Hughes. They have a few different flavors and all of them are 10/10!
I also added some jalapeno and red onion just to give it a bit of kick. If you want to make it even spicier, add some habanero peppers too.
You can always replace the colby jack cheese with pepper jack cheese or mix in some extra sharp cheddar cheese for even more flavor.
How To Store Chicken
The best way to add BBQ chicken roll-ups to your meal prep is to keep the chicken, peppers, and cheese in an airtight container. Then, all you have to do is make the cheese wraps and fill it with your BBQ chicken filling.
Can you store cheese wrap roll-ups after you make them? I don’t recommend it.
Because if you wanted to heat it back up, the cheese might melt. It’s better to make the cheese wraps fresh – especially since it only takes like 10 minutes (and it tastes so much better, too).
