Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these creamy wraps:
- 2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
Substitute: Use boneless thighs or pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience. - 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for added depth)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh spinach
Note: You can use frozen spinach—just thaw and drain well. - 1/2 cup heavy cream
Lighter option: Use half-and-half or coconut cream. - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Substitute: Parmesan or provolone work well too. - 4 large tortillas or wraps
Low-carb or gluten-free tortillas also work!
How to Make It
- Slice and Season the Chicken:
Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika. - Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side or until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside. - Make the Garlic Sauce:
In the same skillet, lower heat to medium. Add butter and garlic, stirring until fragrant (about 30 seconds). - Add Spinach:
Toss in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. - Create the Creamy Base:
Pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in cheese and cook until smooth and melted. - Combine Everything:
Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. - Assemble the Wraps:
Spoon the creamy chicken and spinach mixture onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and serve warm!
Pro Tips for Perfect Wraps
- Don’t Overfill: Keep the filling centered and not too full to avoid breakage.
- Warm the Tortillas: A warm wrap is more pliable and easier to roll.
- Use a Non-Stick Pan: This helps keep the cheese and sauce smooth and prevents sticking.
- Double the Sauce: Love it extra creamy? Just double the sauce ingredients!
