Tips & Tricks
- Make-ahead hack: Marinate flattened chicken in buttermilk overnight for extra tenderness and faster prep the next day.
- Air-fryer option: Cook wrapped chicken at 360°F for 20–22 minutes, turning halfway, to keep the kitchen cool.
- Swap the spread: Use herb cream cheese or Boursin for different flavor notes without changing the creamy texture.
- Leftover reheating: Warm sliced rollups in a covered skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of chicken broth to maintain moisture.
- Serving idea: Pair wraps with a simple salad or tuck slices into warm tortillas for a fast dinner idea the family will love.
