Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 2 pieces roma tomatoes, sliced
• 0.5 pieces red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon prepared pesto

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 4

While the chicken rests, prepare the wrap sauce by mixing mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl until well combined.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

To assemble the wraps, spread 1 tablespoon of the pesto-mayo sauce down the center of each tortilla. Layer each tortilla with baby spinach leaves, sliced tomatoes, red onion, cooked chicken strips, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Italian Balsamic Chicken Wraps!
