Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 cup spinach, fresh
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 4 whole wheat wraps or tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sear chicken strips in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper until golden and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Infuse the same skillet with minced garlic, releasing its aromatic essence for 1-2 minutes.
- Create a luxurious sauce by combining heavy cream, chicken broth, and parmesan cheese, allowing it to simmer and reduce for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Reintroduce the cooked chicken into the skillet, thoroughly coating each piece with the velvety garlic sauce.
- Gently fold in fresh spinach, letting it wilt and integrate with the creamy mixture for 2-3 minutes.
- Brighten the dish with a splash of lemon juice, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and chopped parsley for added depth and freshness.
- Carefully distribute the aromatic chicken mixture onto soft wraps, rolling them tightly and slicing diagonally to create elegant halves.
- Serve immediately while the wrap is warm and the sauce remains creamy, ensuring maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Swap chicken for tofu or tempeh to create a vegetarian version that maintains the rich, creamy flavor profile.
- Reduce heavy cream calories by substituting half with Greek yogurt for a lighter, protein-packed sauce.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe completely celiac-friendly without compromising taste or texture.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking process and ensure each component is perfectly cooked and seasoned.
