Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas

How to Make Flavorful Chicken Wrap Delights

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
    • In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This mixture will create a deliciously flavorful filling for the chicken.
  3. Flatten the Chicken:
    • Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness. This helps the chicken cook evenly and makes it easier to roll up.
  4. Add the Cheese Mixture:
    • Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
  5. Roll Up the Chicken:
    • Roll each chicken breast up tightly and secure with toothpicks to hold the filling in place.
  6. Sear the Chicken:
    • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken wraps until golden brown on all sides. This adds a nice crispy exterior.
  7. Bake the Wraps:
    • Transfer the seared wraps to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Serve in Tortillas:
    • Slice the wraps into pieces and place them in warm flour tortillas for easy serving.
