Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
8 large flour tortillas
2 cups fresh spinach
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. This creates your creamy chicken filling.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat it completely in the garlic sauce. Stir in the fresh parsley.
Warm the flour tortillas according to package directions (you can warm them in a dry skillet or microwave).
To assemble your homemade chicken wraps, place a portion of the creamy garlic chicken mixture and a handful of fresh spinach down the center of each warm tortilla.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly to create stuffed flatbreads. Serve immediately for a simple garlic chicken meal.
Notes
For a low-carb option, substitute the flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas.
If you prefer shredded chicken, cook the chicken breasts whole, shred them, and then add them back into the sauce.
You can add a dash of Dijon mustard to the sauce for extra depth of flavor.
