Notes
- Use cooked chicken to save prep time; rotisserie or leftover chicken works great.
- Fresh basil is essential for authentic Caprese flavor but can be substituted with fresh spinach if needed.
- Choose a good quality balsamic glaze for the best taste; alternatively, reduce balsamic vinegar with a bit of honey until syrupy.
- For a lower carb version, ensure the mozzarella cheese wrap has minimal added carbs.
- This wrap is best enjoyed immediately but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
