Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb Chicken breast (thinly sliced Boneless and skinless; can substitute with chicken thighs)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
To taste: Salt and pepper For seasoning
- 1-2 tbsp Olive oil (For sautéing)
For the Cheesy Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese (Or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (For a sharp savory note)
For the Wrap Assembly:
- 4 Large flour tortillas (Alternatively use whole wheat or spinach tortillas)
- 2 cups Mixed greens (Such as romaine spinach, or arugula)
- 1 medium Tomato (diced)
Instructions
Cook the Chicken:
- In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced chicken with minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Sauté the chicken for 5–7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
Melt the Cheeses:
- Lower the heat to medium-low and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the chicken in the pan.
- Cover the skillet with a lid for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and coats the chicken nicely. (Alternatively, transfer the cooked chicken to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30–45 seconds with the cheese until melted.)
Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds until pliable.
- Lay each tortilla flat and layer with mixed greens, diced tomato, and any optional veggies (red onion, avocado slices) you desire.
- Spoon the cheesy garlic chicken evenly over the vegetables.
Finish and Serve:
- Drizzle with a little ranch dressing or garlic aioli if desired.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly into wraps, slice in half if preferred, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice and additional herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- These wraps can be served warm or at room temperature, making them ideal for a quick dinner or a portable lunch.
- Customize with your favorite toppings like salsa or a squeeze of lime for added brightness.
