01
Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until it’s nicely browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Once done, take it off the heat and let it cool for around 10 minutes.

Step 2
In a bowl, mix the cooled chicken with grapes, chopped celery, and mayonnaise. Add some tarragon for a fresh touch, then season with a little salt to taste.

Step 3
Put the chicken salad into one section of your bento box. Roll up your tortilla or fold it gently and tuck it into the biggest compartment. Fill the other spaces with apple slices and walnuts.

When you’re ready to eat, spoon the chicken mixture onto the tortilla, add your favorite toppings, and wrap it up for a tasty, easy meal.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines classic flavors with a fresh, crunchy twist. It’s light yet satisfying, making it perfect for a quick lunch or a picnic. The mix of apples, celery, and walnuts adds a delightful texture that keeps every bite interesting.
How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a small green salad to keep the meal balanced and refreshing. Adding a few pickle slices can also brighten the flavors and add a nice tang.
Storage & leftovers
Keep the wrap components separate if possible, especially the greens, to avoid sogginess. Store the salad mixture in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within two days for optimal freshness.
