For a person who doesnāt like eggs, I sure do make a lot of egg dishes. Iāll tell you one thing is for sure, if I do make an egg dish- there has to be a lot of flavor! And thatās one thing that this Chicken and Spinach Breakfast Wrap is bringing to the table. FLAVOR.
I actually made this wrap for dinner one night and it was fantastic as a breakfast for dinner meal… it would be fantastic any time of day. It is light, but still filling and packs a ton of protein! I donāt normally like to give the nutritional facts for the food that I post because it can vary so much based on what ingredients you use, but here are the stats that I came up with (using the exact ingredients below). Calories- 340, Fat- 10.7 g, Carbs- 26.8 g, Protein- 30.7 g. See what I mean? This wrap is a total powerhouse!
So letās talk about a few ingredients…
I was looking for sundried tomatoes one day in the grocery store. For the love of all things, I swear that those things are moved every time I go shopping. I mean where should they be?? Should they be with the jarred vegetables like the olives and peppers? Would they be with the canned vegetables? Or with the tomatoes?? That was my guess. I was wrong. Ugh. Eventually, I found them in the Italian aisle, next to the pasta. Whatever.
Anywho…
I finally found them and they were sitting right next to a jar of sundried tomato pesto. The pesto sounded so good that I grabbed it and didnāt even bother with the tomatoes. If you havenāt tried sundried tomato pesto, you HAVE to! It is so delicious and has soooo much flavor. I wish that I could tell you exactly where it is in your grocery… probably next to the sundried tomatoes. š
The next ingredient that I stumbled onto was goat milk feta cheese. Feta isnāt my favorite cheese, but itās also not my least favorite. When I saw this goat milk feta (the brand was Montchevre), I was definitely intrigued. So I bought it and I will probably never buy traditional feta again. The goat milk gives it such a lovely, tangy bite to it. It is really really good. You could totally substitute the goat milk feta cheese in this recipe with regular feta, but Iād recommend giving the goat milk feta a try. Unless you donāt like goat cheese, then donāt try it.
So let me show you how I made this Chicken and Spinach Breakfast Wrap šš»
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Spray an oven-proof 8ā skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk 3 egg whites and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg whites into the skillet.
Add about 3 oz of cooked, sliced chicken breast. I used some leftover chicken breast that I had in my refrigerator. You could use rotisserie chicken, any olā chicken breast will do.
Next add about 1/2 cup of spinach. The spinach will wilt as it cooks slightly, but it will retain a good amount of itās shape and texture. If you want to cook it a little before adding it, pop it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or reduce the amount to 1/4 cup.
Now add 1 oz of goat milk feta cheese. Or regular feta cheese. Or any other cheese that you prefer.
By now, the edges of the egg whites should be pretty set. Pop that skillet into the oven for about 8-10 minutes until the egg whites are completely cooked through.
While the skillet is in the oven, heat a burrito-sized spinach flour tortilla (or any flavor tortilla) until it is pliable and easy to work with. You can toss it in a dry skillet and heat it on the stove or cover it with a damp paper towel and heat it for 15 seconds in the microwave.
Take the warmed tortilla and spread 2 tbsp of the sun dried tomato pesto across it.
When the egg whites are cooked through, remove the skillet from the oven. Use a rubber spatula to loosen the edges of the egg and then use the spatula to guide them into the center of the tortilla.
Now roll everything up like a burrito and slice it on the bias (diagonally).
Enjoy!
