Gather these simple ingredients for delicious cheesy garlic chicken wraps.

• 2 large chicken breasts, diced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• ½ cup creamy garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Fresh parsley, optional for garnish

Customize your wraps with these easy ingredient swaps. Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free shredded cheese alternatives. Gluten-free eaters can opt for gluten-free tortillas. Feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

1. Season the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Cook the chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the tortillas: Lay the four large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the creamy garlic sauce evenly over the inside of each tortilla. Make sure to spread it close to the edges.
4. Add the fillings: Top the garlic sauce on each tortilla with a portion of the cooked chicken. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Distribute the cheese evenly among the four tortillas.
5. Melt the cheese: Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then tightly roll up the tortillas from the bottom to create the wraps. Place the folded wraps seam-side down in the same skillet (no need to clean it) over medium heat.
6. Grill the wraps: Cook the wraps for 3-5 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula. This allows the tortillas to become golden brown and the cheese inside to fully melt and become gooey. Continue until both sides are nicely toasted.
7. Serve: Once the wraps are golden and the cheese is melted, remove them from the skillet. Slice each cheesy garlic chicken wrap in half diagonally. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!

• Overcrowding the skillet: If you add too much chicken to the pan at once, it will steam instead of brown. Cook chicken in batches if necessary to ensure a good sear.
• Burning the tortillas: Keep the heat on medium and watch the wraps closely while cooking. They can go from golden brown to burnt very quickly. Flip them frequently.

• Spicy Version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken seasoning mix.
• Veggie Boost: Sauté some finely chopped onions, bell peppers, or spinach with the chicken for added nutrients and flavor.

• Serve with a side of crisp salad and your favorite dressing.
• Pair with a bowl of tomato soup for a classic comfort food pairing.
• Enjoy with sweet potato fries or regular French fries.

Can I make this ahead?

You can cook the chicken ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. When ready to assemble, simply reheat the chicken and proceed with the recipe. However, for the best texture, it’s recommended to assemble and cook the wraps just before serving.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover cheesy garlic chicken wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or panini press for the crispiest results. Microwaving is an option but may result in a softer tortilla.

These cheesy garlic chicken wraps are a weeknight dinner game-changer. They are incredibly easy to prepare, packed with flavor, and always a hit with everyone. Enjoy this delicious and simple meal!
