👨🍳 Steps and Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken Mixture
Wash and cut the chicken thighs (or breasts) into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl.
2️⃣ Season and Coat the Chicken
Add salt, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, cayenne, black pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
3️⃣ Cook the Chicken
Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken until fully cooked and golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally.
4️⃣ Make the Parmesan Herb Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt herb butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and smooth.
5️⃣ Combine Sauce and Chicken
Pour the Parmesan herb sauce over the cooked chicken and toss until evenly coated.
6️⃣ Assemble the Wraps
Slice open fresh bread rolls and fill them generously with the chicken mixture. Serve immediately while warm.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Chicken thighs are juicier and more flavorful than breasts. Opt for them if you want tender, moist meat.
- Cornstarch gives a light, crispy coating and helps the sauce stick better—don’t skip it.
- Use a cast iron or non-stick pan to get a good sear without sticking.
- Homemade herb butter (with garlic, parsley, and chives) can elevate the flavor dramatically.
- Add the sauce gradually and taste as you go—you want balance, not overpowering richness.
This Chicken Parmesan wrap recipe is a flavorful twist on the classic. Juicy seasoned chicken, buttery Parmesan sauce, and warm bread rolls make it perfect for lunch, dinner, or even meal prep. Fast, satisfying, and full of flavor—it’s bound to become a household favorite!
