Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 box Rice-A-Roni (Chicken Flavor)
• 2.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 0.25 cup Ranch dressing (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into small pieces.

Step 3

In the same skillet or a separate pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the Rice-A-Roni contents (including the seasoning packet) to the skillet with the butter and stir to coat the rice and pasta mixture in butter.

Step 5

Pour in 2.5 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 6

Warm the large flour tortillas in a microwave for 20–30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 7

Layer the center of each tortilla with a scoop of cooked Rice-A-Roni, diced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Drizzle with ranch dressing if desired.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken and Rice Wraps!
