Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large tortillas burrito size
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped tomatoes
  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce
  • Optional toppings: sour cream

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula or tongs
  • Microwave or dry skillet (for warming tortillas)

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium.
  5. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice.
  7. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  8. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  9. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until it is melted and gooey, coating the chicken evenly.
  10. Warm the tortillas slightly.
  11. Spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  12. Add your desired toppings, such as chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or a dollop of sour cream.
  13. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold the bottom up and over the filling, and roll tightly to create a secure wrap.
  14. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For best results, dry brine the chicken with salt for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Use freshly grated mozzarella cheese for better melting and flavor. Warm the tortillas before assembling the wraps to prevent tearing. Don't overfill the wraps. Wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
