Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 lbs chicken breast
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Wrap and Base:
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely and combine with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley to create a robust marinade.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and thoroughly coat them with the prepared garlic herb mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and developing a crispy exterior.
- Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin, uniform strips.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave to enhance flexibility.
- Spread a thin layer of sour cream on each tortilla as a creamy base.
- Distribute the sliced chicken evenly across the tortillas, leaving space at the edges for rolling.
- Sprinkle a generous mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken.
- Carefully roll the tortillas into tight wraps, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from falling out.
- Optional: Lightly toast the wrapped chicken rolls in a skillet to crisp the exterior and melt the cheese.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Marinate chicken longer for deeper flavor infusion, ideally 30 minutes to 2 hours before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise chicken doneness without overcooking, preventing dry texture.
- Substitute tortillas with lettuce wraps for a low-carb, gluten-free alternative that keeps the dish light and fresh.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or gouda to customize flavor profile and add exciting culinary variety.
