Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts

1 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup fresh mozzarella, sliced or shredded

1 cup baby spinach

1 large tomato, sliced

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Cooking spray or additional olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - Start by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin for even cooking. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

      Cook the Chicken:

        - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

          Assemble the Wraps:

            - Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of basil pesto over each tortilla. Arrange slices of cooked chicken in the center, then top with mozzarella, fresh baby spinach, and sliced tomatoes.

              Wrap It Up:

                - Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly from the bottom up, enclosing all the ingredients.

                  Crisp the Wraps:

                    - Wipe the skillet clean and heat a little olive oil or cooking spray over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. If needed, press down gently with a spatula for even crispiness.

                      Serve:

                        - Remove the wraps from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, and then slice them in half. Serve with a side of extra pesto or marinara for dipping.
