Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps – Perfect for Quick Meals
These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are packed with tender chicken, a creamy garlic sauce, and melted cheese, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. Quick and easy to make, they’re perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for a little heat
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Make the garlic sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy garlic sauce. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.
- Assemble the wraps:
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the cheesy garlic chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the chicken mixture.
- Wrap the tortillas:
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a wrap. If desired, you can secure the wrap with toothpicks to hold it together.
- Grill the wraps (optional):
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the wraps to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, pressing down gently with a spatula to seal them.
- Serve:
- Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice them in half. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- You can use a store-bought garlic sauce or ranch dressing as a shortcut for the garlic cream sauce.
- To make the wraps even more filling, add sautéed vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the chicken mixture.
- If you prefer, you can use a whole wheat or spinach tortilla for a different flavor.
