What You Need for Italian Chicken Wrap

To create the Italian Chicken Wrap, you’ll need a selection of fresh ingredients that work harmoniously together. This recipe centers around a few key players that not only enhance the flavor but also provide wonderful textures. Each component adds its unique touch to the wrap.

• 1 extra large tortilla, flatbread or lavash bread – The sturdy base that holds everything together.
• 2 tablespoons DeLallo Roasted Pepper Bruschetta – Adds a burst of flavor with roasted peppers and spices.
• 5-6 slices cooked chicken breast, about 3 ounces – Tender and juicy, this is the main protein of the wrap.
• Handful of arugula or spinach – These greens provide a fresh crunch.
• 2 slices provolone cheese – Creamy and slightly tangy, it melts beautifully.
• 3-4 thin slices of tomato – Juicy and vibrant, these add freshness.
• 2 tablespoons DeLallo Artichoke Bruschetta – Enhances the wrap with a rich, savory taste.
• 10 kalamata or black olives, sliced – Brings a briny depth of flavor.
• Sliced red onion – A touch of sharpness that complements the other flavors.
• DeLallo Balsamic glaze – A sweet and tangy drizzle that ties all the flavors together.

How to Cook Italian Chicken Wrap

Making the Italian Chicken Wrap is as easy as it is rewarding. You’ll love how quickly it comes together, and the process is designed to ensure every bite is packed with flavor. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal ready to enjoy in no time.

1. Lay the tortilla or flatbread on a flat surface. It’s important to have a good base to hold all those lovely ingredients. The size of the tortilla should be large enough to contain everything without tearing.
2. Starting on the edge closest to you, layer a stripe of red pepper bruschetta about half an inch inside the outer edge. This way, when you roll it, the flavor will be right at the heart of the wrap.
3. Place the chicken slices slightly overlapping the bruschetta, ensuring an even distribution of flavor.
4. Add a strip of arugula, followed by the provolone cheese slices. The cheese will melt slightly, bringing everything together.
5. Top with the thin slices of tomato, which will add juiciness and freshness to the wrap.
6. Add artichoke bruschetta for a rich taste, followed by the olives and sliced red onion. Don’t skip on the onions; they add a lovely crunch.
7. Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze. This adds a perfect sweet and tangy finish that enhances the overall flavor.
8. Starting from the edge closest to you, fold the portion of the tortilla with the bruschetta and chicken into itself. Ensure it’s snug and well-packed.
9. Fold the outer edges of the sides inward to keep everything secure during rolling.
10. Continue to tightly roll and wrap the sandwich until it’s fully enclosed. This technique helps keep all the ingredients in place.
11. Slice the wrap in half to serve or cut the halves into even portions to serve as pinwheels. This is a fun way to present them, especially for parties.
12. For best results, you can make this wrap the day before or refrigerate it for two to three days. Just ensure it’s wrapped tightly to keep it fresh.
