Description

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a quick and delicious meal featuring tender chicken in a creamy garlic sauce, loaded with melted cheese, and wrapped in warm tortillas. This recipe is easy to customize and perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2 inch thickness between plastic wrap.
  2. Combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Rub mixture over chicken.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Add heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Remove from heat, stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Add sliced chicken to the sauce and toss to coat.
  9. Warm tortillas if desired.
  10. Lay a tortilla flat. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/8 cup cheddar cheese.
  11. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto the cheese.
  12. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/8 cup cheddar cheese over the chicken.
  13. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up. Repeat with remaining wraps.
  14. Optional: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the outside of each wrap with oil or butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  15. Cut wraps in half and garnish with green onions, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add red pepper flakes to the garlic sauce.
  • Add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or provolone.
  • Substitute chicken with grilled halloumi or black beans for a vegetarian option.
  • Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or a side salad.
