Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast sliced horizontally into thin cutlets
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried Italian herbs
For the Wraps
  • 4 large flour tortillas or low-carb spinach tortillas for a keto option
  • 8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese whole milk, for best melt
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups fresh lettuce romaine or mixed greens, optional

Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • cutting board,
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • tongs
  • skillet,
  • Meat thermometer
  • paper towels.

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into thin cutlets for even cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine avocado oil, seasoned salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken cutlets.
  3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
  4. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken thinly against the grain into strips or small cubes.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Warm the tortillas slightly by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Starting slightly off-center, layer fresh lettuce (if using), followed by the sliced grilled chicken. Place 2 slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken. If the chicken has cooled, briefly warm the chicken and cheese together in the microwave or under a broiler for 20 seconds to soften the cheese. Layer the sliced tomatoes and fresh basil leaves over the melted cheese. Drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar.
  3. Tuck in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly forward to secure the wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  4. Serve immediately while the cheese is still gooey and warm.

Notes

1. For a **low-carb option**, use spinach or almond flour tortillas, or serve the filling in lettuce cups.
2. **Meal Prep Tip**: Cook and slice the chicken ahead of time, then store it separately from the cheese and vegetables. Assemble the wraps fresh before eating to maintain texture and flavor.
3. **Reheating**: If reheating an assembled wrap, use a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes per side to avoid a soggy tortilla.
4. **Variations**: Add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, or swap mozzarella for Provolone for a sharper flavor.
5. **Storage**: Store unassembled ingredients in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keep the mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil separate until ready to assemble.
