Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 2 pieces roma tomatoes, sliced
- 0.5 pieces red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon prepared pesto
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
While the chicken rests, prepare the wrap sauce by mixing mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl until well combined.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the wraps, spread 1 tablespoon of the pesto-mayo sauce down the center of each tortilla. Layer each tortilla with baby spinach leaves, sliced tomatoes, red onion, cooked chicken strips, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form the wrap.
Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Italian Balsamic Chicken Wraps!
