FAQs
1. Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked chicken?
Yes, but you will need to cook the chicken thoroughly before adding it to the wrap. This will take longer, so make sure to cook it first.
2. Can I freeze these wraps?
Yes! You can freeze them before cooking. Just wrap them tightly and store them in a freezer bag. When ready to eat, thaw first, then cook in the skillet.
3. What can I substitute for cream cheese?
You can use Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese as a substitute for cream cheese if you prefer a lighter option.
