Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Cheese and Wraps
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Cooking Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Nonstick cooking spray (for greasing baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to ensure the wraps don’t stick during baking.
- Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Rest and Sauté Garlic: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes so the juices redistribute. Using the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute, to infuse the oil with flavor.
- Shred and Season Chicken: Shred the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss it with the Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor profile.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out each tortilla and evenly distribute the shredded chicken and cheddar cheese on top. Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling without spilling.
- Bake Wraps: Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the wraps are thoroughly heated and the cheese inside has melted to a gooey perfection.
Notes
- Use sharp cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor or a mild cheddar for a creamier melt.
- For a lower-carb option, substitute flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps.
- Add veggies like sautéed peppers or onions inside the wrap for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Ensure chicken is fully cooked by checking for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
