How to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with 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. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
4. Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
5. Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

How to Serve Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps are best served hot. You can enjoy them on their own or with some fresh salad, extra creamy garlic sauce, or a side of your favorite dipping sauce. They make a great lunch or dinner option and can also be served as an appetizer or snack for gatherings.

How to Store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

If you have leftovers, let the wraps cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container, and they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. You can reheat them on a pan or in the microwave. If you want to freeze them, wrap each wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

Tips to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

• Make sure the chicken is cooked through by checking that it is no longer pink inside.
• Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrients.
• For more flavor, try marinating the chicken in the olive oil and spices for a few hours before cooking.

Variation

You can switch up the cheese types based on your preference; try pepper jack for a little spice or feta for a Mediterranean twist. Adding different sauces can also create a unique flavor; consider BBQ sauce or ranch dressing instead of creamy garlic sauce.
