Equipment
- Skillet or grill pan
- Knife + cutting board
- Garlic press (optional)
- Mixing bowl
- Panini press (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 medium chicken breasts (or 3 thighs), cooked & sliced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or roasted for milder flavor)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or a mix of mozzarella & cheddar)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional add-ins: sautéed mushrooms, roasted peppers, spinach
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic butter. In a small pan, melt butter over low heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (1–2 minutes). Set aside.
- Cook the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Slice thinly.
- Assemble the wraps. Lay out tortillas. Spread garlic butter, then layer sliced chicken and shredded cheese in the center. Add optional veggies if desired.
- Wrap tightly. Fold in the sides, then roll up securely to keep filling in place.
- Toast to perfection. Place wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet or panini press. Cook until golden and the cheese is fully melted, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Serve warm. Slice in half for easy handling and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Store cooked wraps in the fridge up to 3 days, or freeze tightly wrapped in foil. Reheat in a skillet or oven.
- Shortcut: Use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking fresh.
- Cheese tip: For the stretchiest melt, use mozzarella; for bold flavor, add a little cheddar.
- Low-carb option: Swap tortillas for lettuce wraps or low-carb wraps.
