Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Large flour tortillas
Mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Fresh garlic cloves
Butter or olive oil
Cream or mayonnaise
Optional Add-Ons:
Shredded lettuce
Tomatoes
Sautéed bell peppers
Fresh parsley or cilantro
Chili flakes or paprika
Protein substitutes like grilled halloumi, tofu, or roasted chickpeas
Instructions
- Season the Chicken:
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of Italian seasoning work wonders.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil or butter.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more butter or olive oil if needed.
- Add minced fresh garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Reduce the heat and stir in cream or mayonnaise, mixing until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Let the sauce simmer gently for a couple of minutes to meld the flavors.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous amount of the creamy garlic sauce onto each tortilla.
- Place slices of the cooked chicken onto the sauce layer.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the chicken.
- Add any optional add-ons like shredded lettuce, tomatoes, or sautéed bell peppers.
- Toast the Wraps (Optional but recommended):
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
- Place the wraps seam-side down on a preheated skillet or panini press.
- Toast until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve:
- Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice them in half if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with grilled halloumi, tofu, or roasted chickpeas.
- Feel free to customize the wraps with your favorite vegetables and herbs.
- These wraps pair well with a fresh side like a Caesar Salad or low-calorie tortilla chips.
