Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (blend of paprika, cayenne, garlic, and herbs)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Creamy Parmesan Sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or zest
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Wrap Assembly
- 4 flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
- 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream or Greek yogurt and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add lemon juice or zest, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly with the creamy Cajun Parmesan sauce. Let simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes to meld the flavors.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm flour tortillas slightly to soften. Lay fresh spinach or lettuce on each tortilla, spoon the creamy chicken mixture on top, then roll tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed. Slice diagonally for easy eating.
Notes
- Use freshly ground Cajun seasoning for the best flavor.
- Avoid overcooking chicken to keep it juicy; cook until 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
- Adjust cream or yogurt quantity to achieve desired sauce thickness.
- Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking.
- Add toasted nuts or seeds for extra texture and crunch.
