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 Assembling
- 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, taking care not to burn it. Pour in the chicken broth followed by the heavy cream, stirring continuously until well combined. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Assemble Wraps: Warm the whole wheat wraps to make them more pliable. Place cooked chicken strips in the center of each wrap. Drizzle generously with the garlic cream sauce, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley if using.
- Serve: Fold the wraps tightly around the filling and serve immediately while warm. These wraps pair beautifully with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- For a lighter version of the sauce, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or light cream.
- Add sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
- These wraps go well with garlic aioli or a side of crispy sweet potato fries for a more indulgent meal.
