Flavor-Packed Chicken & Cheese Wraps

Ingredients

Scale

 

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky touch)

For the Wraps

  • 4 large tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for a sharper flavor)
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (for a lighter option)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (or arugula for a peppery bite)
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

 

  1. Marinate the Chicken
    • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Add the sliced chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15–20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken
    • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through. Let rest, then slice into bite-sized strips.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Cheese Spread
    • In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) until smooth. For an extra garlic kick, add a pinch of garlic powder.
  4. Assemble the Wraps
    • Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the creamy cheese mixture over the entire surface, then add a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Place a few strips of cooked chicken in the center, followed by fresh spinach, tomato slices, and red onion for crunch.
  5. Wrap and Toast
    • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap. For a warm, melty version, toast each wrap in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden.
  6. Slice and Serve
    • Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately to enjoy the gooey, cheesy flavor. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
