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

  1. Wash and dry the produce. Thinly slice the scallions, keeping the whites and greens separate. Quarter the lemon and dice the tomato.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Combine the tomato, half the scallion greens, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Halve the wraps on a diagonal. Divide between plates and top with the remaining scallion greens.
