Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 box Rice-A-Roni (Chicken Flavor)
- 2.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.25 cup Ranch dressing (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into small pieces.
In the same skillet or a separate pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the Rice-A-Roni contents (including the seasoning packet) to the skillet with the butter and stir to coat the rice and pasta mixture in butter.
Pour in 2.5 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Warm the large flour tortillas in a microwave for 20–30 seconds to make them pliable.
Layer the center of each tortilla with a scoop of cooked Rice-A-Roni, diced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Drizzle with ranch dressing if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken and Rice Wraps!
