Description
Make the popular, creamy, cheesy Costco Chicken Bake at home using this step-by-step recipe that replicates the savory flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup creamy Caesar dressing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas or flatbread wraps (about 10–12 inches each)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Caesar dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, oregano, and basil. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
- Gently fold in the mozzarella cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, and crumbled bacon, if using. Mix until the filling is uniform and creamy.
- Lay one large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about one-quarter of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then fold the bottom edge up over the filling, and finally, roll the entire wrap tightly to seal it, creating a log or calzone shape. Ensure the seam is on the bottom.
- Place the assembled wrap seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Brush the tops of the wraps lightly with the beaten egg wash. This helps achieve a golden crust.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese filling is hot and melted throughout.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For the most authentic texture, use high-quality, thick flour tortillas or pre-made flatbread wraps.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the filling mixture.
- You can prepare these wraps ahead of time, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and freeze them for up to one month. Thaw overnight before brushing with egg wash and baking.
