Step-by-Step Overview

Making Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps is a breeze! You’ll start by seasoning your chicken, cooking it until it’s perfectly golden, and then assembling everything into delicious wraps. It’s a straightforward process that ensures you spend less time in the kitchen and more time with your loved ones.

What You’ll Need

To grab everything you need for this delightful wrap, make sure you have:

• 2 large chicken breasts, diced
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Substitutions: If you don’t have garlic powder, fresh minced garlic works just as well. For a lighter option, consider using whole wheat tortillas or adding in some fresh veggies!

Directions to Follow

1. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated in the seasonings.

2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through.

3. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface.

4. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

5. Fold the tortillas over the filling to create a wrap. Grill the folded wraps in the same non-stick pan for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese melts and the tortillas turn golden and crispy.

6. Cut each wrap in half and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

These wraps can stand alone as a hearty meal, but they’re also amazing when served with a side of crispy sweet potato fries, a fresh garden salad, or even some homemade coleslaw. For an extra kick, drizzle some hot sauce over the top or serve with a side of ranch or extra creamy garlic sauce for dipping.

How to Store and Freeze

If you have any leftovers (though I doubt you will!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, pop them in a pan over medium heat until warmed through. You can also freeze these wraps before grilling! Just assemble, wrap tightly in foil, and store in a freezer bag for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let them thaw in the fridge overnight, grill them straight from the freezer, and dinner will be on the table in no time.

Helpful Cooking Tips

• Make sure your pan is well-heated before adding the chicken; this helps to achieve that lovely golden crust.
• If you like a little extra crunch, consider adding some veggies like bell peppers or spinach inside the wraps before grilling.

Variations

Feel free to explore other flavor profiles! You can easily swap out the cheddar and mozzarella for pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick or use different seasonings like cumin or taco seasoning for a Southwest twist. You could even add some bacon bits for extra flavor or swap out the chicken for turkey or shrimp!
