Easy to prepare and ideal for lunch or dinner, chicken Alfredo wraps are a tasty, creamy, and cozy dish. This is a basic recipe for these wraps:

Components:

Regarding the Alfredo chicken:

  1. Two skinless and boneless chicken breasts
  2. One tablespoon of cooking olive oil
  3. To taste, add salt and pepper.
  4. Two minced garlic cloves
  5. One cup of heavy cream
  6. One cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
  7. For added cheesiness, you can add 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. One tablespoon of butter
  9. Half a teaspoon of dried basil or Italian seasoning (optional)

To wrap things up:

  • Four big flour tortillas (for variation, use spinach or sun-dried tomato tortillas)
  • Optional: fresh lettuce or spinach for crunch
  • Tomato slices (optional; adds freshness)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, if desired)

Directions:

1. Prepare the chicken:

  • Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • When the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), add the chicken breasts and cook for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  • After cooking, take the chicken out of the skillet, let it a few minutes to rest, and then cut it into thin slices.

2. Prepare the Alfredo dressing:

  • Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Cook the minced garlic for around 30 seconds, or until it becomes aromatic.
  • After adding the heavy cream, boil the mixture. Give it three to four minutes to cook so that it thickens a little.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it becomes creamy and smooth. Add shredded mozzarella cheese for added richness if desired.
  • Turn down the heat to low after adding salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, if using.

3. Put the Wraps Together:

  • Place your tortillas on a spotless surface, flat.
  • If desired, garnish each tortilla with a few spinach or lettuce leaves for added crunch.
  • Fill the center of each tortilla with a large portion of the Alfredo sauce using a spoon.
  • Place the cooked chicken slices over the sauce.
  • If you want more freshness, you may optionally add a few slices of fresh tomatoes or other vegetables.
  • The tortilla should be carefully folded in the sides before being snugly rolled into a wrap.

4. Offer:

  • To make serving easier, cut the wraps in half at an angle.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables, salad, or chips on the side, and garnish with fresh parsley if you like.

Advice:

  • For additional taste and texture, you can add sautéed broccoli, mushrooms, or other vegetables to the Alfredo sauce.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas and substitute a milder cream or milk for the heavy cream for a lighter version.

These tasty and creamy chicken Alfredo wraps are ideal for a quick and filling supper. Have fun!
