Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 12 spears Asparagus
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Tortillas (large, 10-inch)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated in the seasoning.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, but not fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. Place the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
While the asparagus is roasting, thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips.
Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or a dry skillet to make them pliable.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese across the center of each tortilla. Layer a few spinach leaves, 3 roasted asparagus spears, shredded mozzarella cheese, and sliced chicken on top of the cream cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap.
If desired, lightly toast the wraps in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side to create a crisp texture.
Slice each wrap in half, serve, and enjoy!
