Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
- ¼ cup fresh basil, minced
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- Olive oil, as needed
- Extra fresh herbs for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice into the thickest side of each chicken breast to form a deep pocket without cutting all the way through.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into each chicken pocket, then add a small handful of chopped spinach. Gently press the opening closed to keep the filling in place.
- Wrap each stuffed chicken breast snugly in a tortilla, tucking in the sides as you roll. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Arrange the wraps seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Lightly brush or drizzle olive oil over the tops and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let the wraps rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and garnish with extra herbs if you like.
Notes
- Boost flavor by marinating the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for a few hours before stuffing.
- Swap mozzarella and Parmesan for cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or feta to change things up.
- Add-ins like chopped mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes work well—just keep fillings on the drier side.
- These wraps freeze beautifully. Assemble, freeze unbaked, and cook straight from frozen with extra baking time.
- Pair with a crisp salad or a creamy dipping sauce to round out the meal.
