How to Make Wrap Wrap Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup low-fat ranch dressing or your favorite sauce

Wrap Wrap Chicken

Directions:

  1. Start by washing the chicken breasts under cold water. Once they are rinsed, pat them dry with a paper towel. This step is crucial to ensure that the seasoning sticks to the chicken.

  2. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This mixture will give the chicken great flavor. Make sure it’s well combined.

  3. Take the chicken breasts and rub the seasoning mixture all over them. Ensure that each piece is evenly coated for the best taste.

  4. Now it’s time to cook the chicken. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side. The chicken is done when its internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy!

  5. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to settle, making the chicken more tender. After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips.

  6. Take a whole wheat tortilla and place a handful of chopped lettuce in the center. Then add cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and the sliced chicken on top of the lettuce.

  7. Drizzle your choice of ranch dressing over the ingredients. This adds a creamy texture that pairs well with the fresh veggies and chicken.

  8. To wrap it up, fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up. Make sure everything is secure inside.

  9. Repeat these steps for the rest of the tortillas and filling.

  10. Serve the wraps cut in half. You can also add a side of fresh fruit or salad to make the meal even more satisfying.

How to Serve Wrap Wrap Chicken

Wrap Wrap Chicken is best served fresh. You can serve it as is or alongside a light side salad or fruit for a balanced meal. If you have guests, you can arrange the wraps on a platter and serve them for a fun and interactive dining experience. Let everyone choose their own wrap and toppings!

How to Store Wrap Wrap Chicken

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The components can be separated to keep the wraps fresh. The chicken, vegetables, and tortillas can each be stored separately and assembled when you are ready to eat. They will remain good for about 2-3 days. However, avoid storing the assembled wraps for too long, as the tortillas can become soggy.

Tips to Make Wrap Wrap Chicken

  • Season the Chicken: Feel free to get creative with the seasonings. You can add herbs or other spices like cumin or chili powder for some extra flavor.

  • Prep Ahead: If you know you’ll be busy, consider prepping the chicken and vegetables in advance. You can season and cook the chicken a day before and store it in the fridge.

  • Add More Veggies: Don’t hesitate to include more vegetables in your wraps. Bell peppers, red onion, or even avocado can add great taste and nutrition.

  • Experiment with Sauces: If ranch dressing isn’t your favorite, try different dressings or sauces. A yogurt-based sauce, hummus, or a vinaigrette can make a delicious alternative.

  • Make it Spicy: If you like heat, add some sliced jalapeños or a spicy sauce to give your wraps a kick.

Variation

This recipe is very versatile, so you can easily make it your own. Here are a few variations:

  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas for a meatless wrap. Season the substitute just like the chicken for added flavor.

  • Grilled Version: Instead of using a skillet, grill the chicken on an outdoor grill for that smoky flavor.

  • Different Tortillas: While whole wheat tortillas are healthy, you can also try corn tortillas, spinach tortillas, or even lettuce wraps for a gluten-free option.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken breasts for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but make sure to thaw them completely before cooking for even cooking and proper seasoning adherence.

How do I know when the chicken is done cooking?

The best way is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Alternatively, cut into the thickest part of the chicken; it should be opaque and the juices should run clear.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can prep the ingredients in advance, but it’s best to assemble the wraps right before serving. This will help prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.

With these easy steps, you’re all set to enjoy a delicious meal of Wrap Wrap Chicken. It’s a satisfying, healthy option that’s sure to please everyone at the table!
