Chicken Brie Holiday Wrap (Print)

Tender chicken, creamy brie, and cranberry sauce toasted to golden perfection in a cozy wrap.

# Components:

→ 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 flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.
02 - If desired, spread mayonnaise or Dijon mustard in the center of each tortilla.
03 - Divide and layer half the chicken, brie, spinach, and red onion evenly onto each tortilla.
04 - Top each with a tablespoon of cranberry sauce, then sprinkle with fresh herbs and black pepper if using.
05 - Fold in the sides and 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 the brie melts.
07 - Remove wraps from heat, slice each in half, and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms holiday leftovers into something that feels entirely new and elegant.
  • The whole thing comes together in 15 minutes, yet tastes like you spent way more effort.
  • Toasted brie gets creamy and dreamy, while the cranberry keeps everything from feeling heavy.
02 -
  • Don't skip toasting the wrap; that's what transforms it from assembled to complete—the exterior becomes crispy while the brie melts into a luxurious binding.
  • If your brie is cold, it won't melt properly, so try to use room-temperature or leftover baked brie (it's already partially softened).
  • The cranberry sauce is essential, not optional; it's what prevents the wrap from tasting flat and gives you those tart pops that make people pause and ask what's in it.
03 -
  • Room-temperature or warm brie is non-negotiable; cold brie won't melt, and you'll miss the magic.
  • Slice the wrap carefully and serve it immediately while the brie is still flowing—that's when it tastes most luxurious and feels worth celebrating.
