Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
For the Garlic Cream Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup chicken broth
For Assembly
- 4 whole wheat wraps or tortillas
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken strips along with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine all the flavors. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Assemble Wraps: Warm the whole wheat wraps until pliable. Place the cooked chicken strips in the center of each wrap. Drizzle generously with the garlic cream sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese over the top, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve: Fold the wraps tightly to encase the filling. Serve warm and enjoy immediately, ideally paired with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier wrap.
- If preferred, use gluten-free wraps for a gluten-free option.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a dairy-free alternative.
- Mozzarella cheese melts smoothly, while Parmesan adds a sharper flavor – choose based on your taste preference.
- Chopped parsley is optional but adds a fresh herbal note and color contrast.
