Saucy Italian Chicken Wraps
Crisp-seared chicken wraps with a creamy Italian filling and fresh tomato-scallion relish.
Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas
- 8.6 oz fully cooked chicken breasts
- 2 scallions, whites and greens separated
- 1 tomato
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more for the seasoning packet if needed
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- Cooking oil
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry the produce. Thinly slice the scallions, keeping the whites and greens separate. Quarter the lemon and dice the tomato.
- Pat the chicken dry and thinly slice it crosswise. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, scallion whites, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (2 teaspoons for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is warmed through and the scallions are tender, 2–3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cream cheese, juice from one lemon wedge, and 3 tablespoons water (6 tablespoons for 4 servings) until melted and combined. Transfer the chicken to a plate and wipe out the pan.
- Combine the tomato, half the scallion greens, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place the tortillas on a work surface. Add the saucy chicken and drained tomato relish to the bottom third of each tortilla. Fold up the bottom, fold in the sides, and roll into wraps.
- Heat another drizzle of oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the wraps and cook until golden on all sides, 4–6 minutes, working in batches if needed.
- Halve the wraps on a diagonal. Divide between plates and top with the remaining scallion greens.
