Instructions
Creating Mediterranean Pesto Chicken Wraps is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
3. Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
4. Add Pesto: Toss the sliced chicken in a bowl with the pesto sauce until well coated.
5. Prepare the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous scoop of pesto chicken in the center.
6. Add Veggies: Top the chicken with fresh spinach, bell peppers, cucumber, and optional feta cheese.
7. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, starting from the bottom.
8. Toast (optional): For a warm wrap, place it in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly crispy.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut the wrap in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Mediterranean Pesto Chicken Wraps!
