Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 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
Wraps and Fillings
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated and well seasoned.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken pieces are fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat and set the chicken aside.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla, then evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken to ensure a rich cheesy flavor in each bite.
- Melt and Crisp: Carefully fold each tortilla securely over the filling to form wraps or burritos. Return the wraps to the warm skillet and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. This step melts the cheese inside and crisps up the outside of the tortillas, adding a delicious texture contrast.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice each in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness of these hearty chicken wraps.
Notes
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas depending on dietary preferences.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the chicken seasoning.
- Creamy garlic sauce can be replaced with ranch dressing or garlic mayo as alternatives.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot during the melting step to prevent burning the tortillas.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
