Chicken Brie Holiday Wrap (Printable version)

Tender chicken, creamy baked brie, and cranberry sauce toasted in a warm wrap for a festive meal.

# What You’ll Need:

→ 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 - ½ cup baby spinach leaves
04 - ¼ 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 (e.g., 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 the chicken, brie, spinach, and red onion evenly onto each tortilla.
04 - Top each with 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce, then sprinkle with fresh herbs and black pepper if using.
05 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up 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 brown and brie is melted.
07 - Remove wraps from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It turns random holiday leftovers into something that feels intentional and cozy.
  • The creamy brie melts into the chicken and cranberry in a way that tastes indulgent but takes almost no effort.
  • You can have it on the table in fifteen minutes, which is perfect when you're tired of cooking elaborate meals.
02 -
  • Don't overfill the wraps or they'll split when you roll them. I learned this the hard way when cranberry sauce leaked everywhere.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot before you add the wraps, or they won't get that crispy golden crust on the outside.
  • If the brie is cold and firm, it won't melt as easily. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before assembling.
03 -
  • Press down gently on the wraps with a spatula while they toast to help the fillings meld together and the cheese melt evenly.
  • If your tortillas are a little stiff, warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds before assembling so they roll without cracking.
  • Taste your cranberry sauce before adding it. If it's very sweet, use a little less or balance it with a squeeze of lemon juice.
