Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1/2 cup (120ml/4 fluid ounces) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (120g/4 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (100g/3.5 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (50g/1.75 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium temperature. Sear chicken strips until they develop a golden-brown exterior and reach complete internal doneness, approximately 6-8 minutes. Season protein with salt and pepper, then transfer to a separate plate.
- Reduce skillet heat and introduce minced garlic, allowing aromatics to release fragrance for roughly 60 seconds. Pour heavy cream and cream cheese into the pan, whisking continuously until the mixture transforms into a velvety smooth consistency.
- Incorporate mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses into the sauce, stirring diligently to create a rich, creamy texture. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and develops a luxurious sheen.
- Return cooked chicken to the skillet, gently tossing to ensure each piece becomes thoroughly enrobed in the decadent garlic cream sauce. Allow the protein to simmer briefly, warming through completely.
- Spread flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Carefully distribute the creamy chicken mixture along the center of each tortilla, maintaining an even placement.
- Fold tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly to create compact wraps that seal in the luscious filling. Position wraps seam-side down to prevent unraveling.
- Slice wraps diagonally, creating elegant halves. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch. Serve immediately while the filling remains warm and inviting.
Notes
- Optimize chicken tenderness by pounding the strips to even thickness before cooking, ensuring uniform golden-brown exterior and juicy interior.
- Reduce sauce calories by substituting heavy cream with half-and-half or Greek yogurt for a lighter version while maintaining creamy texture.
- Enhance gluten-free adaptability by replacing flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or gluten-free wraps for those with dietary restrictions.
- Boost protein content by adding sautéed spinach or diced bell peppers into the chicken mixture for extra nutritional value and vibrant color.
