These Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps are a delicious and healthy meal option, combining tender seasoned chicken breasts with fresh spinach and melted mozzarella cheese, all wrapped in whole wheat tortillas. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, they offer a satisfying blend of flavors and textures with minimal prep time.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound total)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Wrap:

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts to ensure full flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and allow to rest for a few minutes.
  3. Slice the chicken: After resting, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips to make them easy to wrap and eat.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Distribute the sliced chicken evenly among each tortilla. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh spinach leaves.
  5. Warm the wraps: Roll up each tortilla tightly around the filling. Optionally, place the wraps back into the skillet or a panini press for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese slightly and warm the spinach.
  6. Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve with ranch dressing on the side for dipping, or enjoy them as is for a nutritious and delicious meal.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken seasoning.
  • Substitute ranch dressing with a Greek yogurt-based dressing for a lighter option.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • To prep ahead, cook and slice the chicken in advance and assemble the wraps just before serving.
  • Add other fresh veggies such as sliced tomatoes or bell peppers for extra crunch and nutrients.
