Ingredients
Creating these wraps is as much about the journey through flavors as it is about the final destination. Here’s what you’ll need:
– Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Fresh garlic cloves
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper
– Shredded mozzarella cheese
– Whole wheat wraps or tortillas
– Fresh parsley, chopped
– Butter
These ingredients come together in a dance of flavors, each playing its part to create a dish that’s both comforting and satisfying. The simplicity of the ingredients is reminiscent of Mama Lou’s kitchen, where we learned that the magic of cooking lies in the love and care you pour into it, rather than extravagant ingredients.
Instructions
Bringing these wraps to life is a joyous process that connects me to the past while creating new memories:
1. Start by finely mincing the garlic cloves. This is a task I always loved doing with Mama Lou, who insisted on using fresh garlic for that authentic aroma.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic, stirring until fragrant.
3. Add the chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown on each side. This reminds me of the patience Mama Lou taught us, letting the flavors develop slowly.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it into thin strips.
5. In the same skillet, melt a knob of butter and warm the wraps on both sides until lightly golden.
6. Place the sliced chicken on the wraps, sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese, and let it melt slightly before rolling them up.
7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor that echoes Mama Lou’s love for fresh herbs.
