Wrap & Fillings:
4–5 large flour tortillas, lavash, or Mediterranean flatbreads

Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Marinate chicken with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice for 10 minutes.
Grill or sauté chicken over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Slice into strips.
Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat olive oil/butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
Add cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat.
Stir in Parmesan, nutmeg (optional), salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble Wraps
Warm tortillas or flatbreads slightly to make them pliable.
Spread a spoonful of Alfredo sauce on each wrap.
Add spinach, chicken strips, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, shredded cheese, and herbs.
Drizzle with more Alfredo and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Step 4: Wrap & Toast (Optional)
Roll up burrito-style. Optional: grill on a dry skillet or panini press for 2–3 minutes to crisp the outside and melt cheese inside.
Tips for Success
Thin chicken = faster cooking: Pound or butterfly breasts to keep the wrap tender and easy to roll.
Use good Parmesan: Freshly grated Parm adds better flavor and texture than the pre-shredded kind.
Toasted wraps > cold wraps: Toasting the wrap adds crunch and helps melt the cheese.
Make it creamy, not soggy: Don’t overload Alfredo inside the wrap—add just enough to coat.
Variations
Low-Carb Version: Use lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas.
Spicy Version: Add red chili flakes or harissa to the Alfredo.
Veggie Version: Replace chicken with grilled eggplant, mushrooms, or zucchini.
Pesto Twist: Add a spoonful of pesto to the sauce or drizzle on top.
Cheese Swap: Goat cheese or feta can be subbed for Parmesan for a tangier bite.
FAQ
