These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are loaded with tender chicken, melty cheese, and a burst of garlic flavor. They’re easy to make and perfect for a quick meal or snack.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
    • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  2. Assemble the Wraps:
    • Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar cheese on one half of each tortilla.
    • Place a few strips of chicken over the cheese, then fold the tortilla over to create a wrap.
  3. Cook the Wraps:
    • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden crisp.
    • Place the wraps in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden and crispy.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice them in half. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Additional Tips for Serving and Storage:

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve these wraps with a side of sour cream, salsa, or a garlic dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Customizations: You can easily add your favorite veggies like bell peppers or onions to the wrap for added texture and nutrition.
