Ingredients

1 lb (450g) cooked chicken breast, shredded

4 large tortillas or wraps

2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add shredded chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, and season with salt and pepper.

Drizzle lightly with garlic oil.

Wrap & bake:

Fold tortillas tightly into wraps and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Brush tops with remaining garlic oil for extra flavor.

Bake:

Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the outside and cheese is melted inside.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with extra marinara for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Cheese Options – Swap mozzarella with provolone, Gouda, or even crumbled feta for a sharper Mediterranean flavor.

Sauce Upgrade – Try roasted red pepper sauce, pesto, or sun-dried tomato spread instead of marinara for a different twist.

Make it Spicy – Add red pepper flakes, chili oil, or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wrap.

Veggie Boost – Layer in sautéed spinach, mushrooms, roasted peppers, or zucchini to make it more hearty.

Crispier Finish – Brush the tops with garlic butter instead of olive oil before baking.

Grilled Version – Instead of baking, grill the wraps on a skillet or panini press for a quicker, crispier result.

Low-Carb Swap – Use low-carb tortillas or wrap the filling in collard greens for a lighter version.

Protein Twist – Replace chicken with cooked turkey, shredded beef, or grilled shrimp.

Make-Ahead Friendly – Assemble wraps in advance, refrigerate, and bake just before serving.
