Instructions
Cooking Chicken patties
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Flip the patties and continue cooking until they are golden and reach an internal temperature of 74°C.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest briefly.
- On a cutting board, slice each patty into 6 uniform strips.
Assembling Wraps
- Lay out the tortilla wraps.
- Evenly distribute half of the mozzarella down the centre of each wrap.
- Arrange 6 chicken strips on top, spoon pizza sauce over the chicken, and then layer with 6 pepperoni slices per wrap.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward to securely enclose the filling.
Toasting Wraps
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and place the folded wraps seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook until the underside is crispy and deeply golden, about 5 minutes.
- Then, flip and brown the other side for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the cheese is melted through.
- Transfer the toasted wraps to a cutting board and slice each in half if desired.
Notes
For the best taste and texture, serve your Chicken and Pepperoni Pizza Melts fresh from the skillet. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
