Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 4 whole wheat wraps (or any tortilla)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup fresh spinach
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Swaps & Notes
- No heavy cream? Substitute with half-and-half or Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Add veggies: Sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes add even more flavor.
- Make it low-carb: Use low-carb wraps or turn it into a lettuce wrap.
- Spice it up: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the cream sauce.
Step-by-Step Instructions
✅ 1. Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
✅ 2. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce slightly thickens.
✅ 3. Combine with Chicken and Spinach
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.
Add fresh spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes, until wilted.
Finish with lemon juice, then sprinkle in mozzarella cheese and fresh parsley.
✅ 4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay out your whole wheat wraps.
Spoon a generous portion of the creamy chicken mixture onto each.
Roll them up tightly, slice in half, and serve warm—or wrap and chill for later.
Tips for Success
- Slice the chicken thin so it cooks evenly and quickly.
- Let the sauce thicken slightly before adding the spinach so it clings to the meat.
- Warm your tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.
- Want crisp wraps? Lightly grill them in a skillet or panini press after assembling.
