Instructions
1. Cook the Chicken
Start by preparing the chicken. If the chicken breasts are thick, you can butterfly them or slice them in half horizontally to ensure they cook evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme (if using).
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
2. Prepare the Garlic Sauce
While the chicken is cooking, you can make the garlic sauce.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Slice the Chicken
Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference. This will make it easier to wrap and ensure every bite has plenty of delicious chicken.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Now it’s time to assemble the wraps!
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat and place a few slices of chicken in the center.
- Drizzle some of the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. The cheese will melt perfectly and add a delightful gooey texture.
- Optionally, add a handful of fresh spinach leaves or lettuce for some extra crunch, and a few slices of tomato for freshness.
5. Roll and Serve
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly, ensuring all the ingredients are tucked inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
Why These Wraps Are So Delicious
The combination of garlic butter sauce and melted cheese creates a rich and savory base for the chicken, while the crispy edges of the tortilla provide the perfect contrast in texture. The Parmesan cheese adds a nutty, salty depth, while the mozzarella offers a stretchy, gooey finish that makes every bite so satisfying. Plus, the fresh spinach or lettuce balances the richness of the wrap, adding a refreshing crunch.
Tips for the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
- Make It Spicy: If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic sauce or sprinkle some on top before rolling the wraps.
- Use Different Cheeses: Experiment with different cheese combinations—cheddar, pepper jack, or provolone work wonderfully in place of mozzarella.
- Add Veggies: To boost the nutritional value, consider adding sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini for extra flavor and color.
- Grill the Wraps: For a crispy, grilled finish, place the assembled wraps in a skillet over medium heat and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Meal Prep: These wraps are great for meal prepping! Assemble the wraps in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month—just be sure to wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
