Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced thin for quick cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing and flavor
- 3 cloves garlic, minced the soul of the dish
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika substitute with regular paprika if preferred
- to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
- 4 large flour or whole-wheat wraps choose your favorite for a healthy option
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella melts into dreamy strings
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan nutritional yeast works as a dairy-free substitution
- 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens adds freshness and color
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced optional, for a touch of sweetness
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream for a quick garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice lifts the flavors
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a little heat
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat chicken slices dry and sprinkle with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and half the minced garlic. Let them sit for a minute to absorb the flavors.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices in a single layer and sear 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to low. Add the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to make a silky, tangy sauce.
Assembly
- Warm the wraps briefly in a dry skillet or microwave. Spread a spoonful of the garlic sauce down the center, layer with sliced chicken, roasted red peppers, baby spinach, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Fold the sides and roll tightly. Return to the skillet seam-side down and toast 1–2 minutes per side until the cheese is melted and the wrap is golden.
- Slice diagonally to reveal the stringy cheese and fragrant garlic steam. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, swap chicken for grilled portobello or roasted cauliflower. For a lower-carb version, use large lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps.
