Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Wrap Components
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Optional: Lettuce, tomato slices, for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the wraps later.
- Cook Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook each breast for about 6-7 minutes per side until no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly before slicing thinly to ensure easy rolling.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, softened cream cheese, and chopped fresh parsley, mixing well to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
- Assemble Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto each tortilla, covering the surface where the filling will be placed.
- Add Chicken: Arrange a few slices of the cooked chicken on top of the cheese spread on each tortilla for a hearty filling.
- Make Garlic Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and minced garlic, stirring well. Spread about 1 tablespoon of this garlic mayonnaise evenly over the chicken on each wrap for added flavor.
- Optional Garnishes: Add fresh lettuce leaves or tomato slices on top of the chicken and garlic mayonnaise if desired for extra freshness and texture.
- Roll Wraps: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, then place them seam-side down on a baking sheet to keep them secure during baking.
- Bake Wraps: Bake the wraps in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the tortillas turn slightly crispy and the cheese inside melts thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the wraps cool for a few minutes to firm up. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free options if preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the cheese mixture or garlic mayo.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Leftover wraps can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
