Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup shredded chicken
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup cream cheese
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Wrap and Seasoning:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring even coating on all sides.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes, then shred using two forks into small, uniform pieces.
- Mince garlic cloves finely and mix with cream cheese, creating a smooth, aromatic spread.
- Lay out flour tortillas and spread the garlic cream cheese mixture evenly across the center of each wrap.
- Distribute shredded chicken generously over the cream cheese layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the chicken, creating a rich, melty layer.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top, encasing the filling completely.
- Place wrapped chicken rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until tortillas turn golden and crisp, and cheese melts thoroughly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing diagonally.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and herbaceous flavor.
- Serve immediately while warm and cheese is still gooey.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is at room temperature before cooking to promote even heating and prevent dryness.
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels to achieve better browning and crispy exterior when searing.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like cheddar or swiss for unique flavor profiles.
- Gluten-free option: Replace flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or low-carb tortilla alternatives for a lighter meal.
