Chicken Brie Holiday Wrap (Print view)

Tender chicken paired with creamy baked brie, spinach, and cranberry sauce in a toasted holiday wrap.

# List of Ingredients:

→ 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

# Step-by-Step 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 - Layer half the chicken, brie, spinach, and red onion onto each tortilla.
04 - Add a tablespoon of cranberry sauce on top of each. Sprinkle with herbs and black pepper if using.
05 - Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
06 - Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the brie is melty.
07 - Remove from pan, slice in half, and serve warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like a celebration in five minutes, making leftovers feel fancy without pretense.
  • The brie melts into every bite, turning ordinary ingredients into something creamy and indulgent.
  • It's the kind of meal you can eat with one hand while scrolling through your phone without guilt.
02 -
  • Don't overstuff or the wrap bursts open in the pan and you lose all your brie to the skillet, which sounds like a small thing until it happens and you're genuinely disappointed.
  • Medium heat is essential because high heat burns the tortilla before the brie even thinks about melting, turning your wrap into a crispy shell with cold cheese inside.
03 -
  • Make these wraps the moment you have leftover brie or chicken, because the beauty is in using what you already have without extra shopping.
  • If you're preparing these ahead of time, wrap them tightly in foil and refrigerate them untoasted, then toast them straight from cold—they'll heat through evenly and the brie will melt perfectly.
