Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Pesto sauce
- 2 cups Spinach or mixed greens
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder for extra flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove from the skillet and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the chicken into thin strips once cooled slightly.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20-30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.
Spread a tablespoon of pesto sauce evenly onto each tortilla.
Layer the spinach or mixed greens, cherry tomatoes (halved, if necessary), shredded mozzarella cheese, and sliced chicken on each tortilla.
Wrap each tortilla tightly by folding in the sides and rolling from the bottom up.
Slice the wrap in half (optional) and serve immediately.
