Chicken Brie Holiday Wrap (Printable)

Tender chicken, creamy brie, cranberry sauce, and fresh greens toasted to a golden finish.

# Ingredient List:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded (leftover, skinless)

→ Cheese

02 - 3.5 oz baked brie, sliced (leftover, rind removed if preferred)

→ Vegetables & Greens

03 - 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
04 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

→ Condiments

05 - 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce (whole berry or smooth)

→ Wraps

06 - 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

→ Optional Add-ins

07 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or Dijon mustard
08 - 2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs (thyme or parsley)
09 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
02 - If desired, spread mayonnaise or Dijon mustard in the center of each tortilla.
03 - Distribute half of the chicken, brie, spinach, and red onion evenly onto each tortilla.
04 - Top each with 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce, sprinkle with fresh herbs and black pepper if using.
05 - Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
06 - Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and the brie softens.
07 - Remove from heat, slice each wrap in half, and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms holiday leftovers into something that tastes intentional and special, not like you're scraping the bottom of the fridge.
  • Ready in 15 minutes, which means you can go from craving comfort food to holding it in your hands before your coffee gets cold.
  • The warm brie melts into every bite, turning something simple into something genuinely luxurious without any real effort.
02 -
  • The seam goes down on the skillet first—this is how you seal it and keep everything from spilling out, a lesson I learned after making a mess on my stovetop the first time.
  • Don't skip the toasting step, because it's what transforms soft, cold ingredients into something that feels intentional and hot, like you actually cooked something.
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas gently before assembling if they're cold from the fridge—a 10-second pass over the skillet makes them infinitely more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll.
  • If you're worried about the brie staying in place, spread it slightly so it adheres to the tortilla, which keeps everything from sliding around during the toast.
