Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

We’ve kept the ingredient list simple yet full of flavor, so you can make these wraps any time. Here’s what you’ll need:

Step-by-Step Instructions

Making these cheesy garlic chicken wraps is a breeze, even on busy nights. Follow these steps, and you’ll be enjoying your delicious wraps in no time.

1. Season and Prepare the Chicken

Begin by dicing the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the diced chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. This seasoning adds a rich depth of flavor that complements the cheesy and garlicky goodness of the wraps.

Pro Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, you can marinate the chicken for 10-15 minutes, though this step is optional if you’re short on time.

2. Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s browned on all sides and fully cooked through. You’ll want to make sure the chicken has a nice golden sear for the best flavor.

Once cooked, set the chicken aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

3. Prepare the Garlic Sauce

If you’re using store-bought garlic sauce, this step is quick and easy. However, for a homemade touch, you can create your own garlic sauce using mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together to form a creamy, tangy sauce that pairs perfectly with the chicken and cheese.

4. Assemble the Wraps

Take your tortillas and spread about 2 tablespoons of the creamy garlic sauce on each one. Add a portion of the cooked chicken to each tortilla, spreading it evenly.

Next, sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and a little over 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese over the chicken. The combination of cheddar and mozzarella gives you the perfect balance of sharp and creamy, with a great melt factor.

Pro Tip: For added texture and flavor, you can toss in some sautéed onions, bell peppers, or even a handful of spinach into the wraps.

5. Fold and Toast the Wraps

Once the wraps are assembled, fold the tortillas by tucking in the sides and rolling them up tightly.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted. This step gives the wraps a delightful crispy texture on the outside while keeping the inside gooey and flavorful.

6. Garnish and Serve

Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice them in half for easy serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately, while they’re still warm and the cheese is at its meltiest.

Serving Suggestions

These cheesy garlic chicken wraps are incredibly versatile and can be served with a variety of sides to create a complete meal. Consider pairing them with:

• A side of crispy fries for a classic combination
• A light, fresh salad to balance out the richness of the wraps
• Salsa or guacamole for a flavorful dipping sauce

For a fun twist, you could also turn these wraps into a baked casserole dish. Simply assemble the wraps, place them in a baking dish, cover with extra cheese, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
