Description
These Grilled Chicken Broccoli Wraps are a delicious and healthy meal option featuring tender, seasoned chicken breast paired with crisp-tender steamed broccoli, creamy sour cream, and melted mozzarella cheese, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla and grilled to golden perfection in a skillet or panini press.
Ingredients
Chicken and Seasoning
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Wrap and Toppings
- 6 flour tortillas (8-10 inches wide)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil with oregano, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture and coat them thoroughly with the seasoning blend.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the juices run clear and chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, then slice into strips.
- Steam the Broccoli: Using a steamer set over boiling water, steam the broccoli florets covered until crisp-tender, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat, spread an even layer of sour cream in the center, then layer with sliced chicken, steamed broccoli, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top to secure the filling inside.
- Grill the Wraps: Place the wraps seam side down in a panini press or the same skillet used for the chicken. Press gently and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Broccoli can be substituted with other vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers based on preference.
- For a lower-calorie option, use whole wheat tortillas and reduced-fat cheese.
- Wraps can be prepared ahead of time and grilled just before serving for convenience.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon or sprinkle of red pepper flakes inside the wrap can enhance the flavor.
