Ingredients:

For the Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps, you will need the following:

  • 2 chicken breasts, cubed: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the easiest preparation. If you prefer a different protein, you can substitute chicken with turkey breast, lean beef, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil: This will be used to sauté the chicken and garlic, creating a flavorful base for the wraps.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced: Garlic is the star of this recipe! Fresh minced garlic brings out a robust flavor that complements the chicken perfectly.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder: Adding a bit of garlic powder enhances the garlic flavor, making the wraps even more aromatic.
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder: Onion powder provides an extra layer of savory flavor.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste: Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper to ensure a well-rounded flavor.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese: The sharpness of cheddar cheese is perfect for these wraps, giving them that cheesy goodness.
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: Mozzarella adds meltiness and creaminess that makes these wraps irresistible.
  • 1/4 cup sour cream: Adds a tangy and creamy element to the wraps, balancing out the richness of the cheese.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise: Mayonnaise adds to the creaminess, giving the wraps a smooth texture.
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped: Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the wraps.
  • 4 large flour tortillas: You’ll need soft, large tortillas to hold all of these delicious fillings.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Sauté the Chicken

Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed chicken to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir the chicken occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the pan.

2. Add the Garlic

After the chicken has been cooking for about 5-7 minutes and is mostly cooked through, add the minced garlic to the pan. Cook the garlic for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning. The garlic will infuse the chicken with an irresistible aroma!

3. Make the Cheesy Mixture

While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Once the chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat to low and add the cheesy mixture to the pan with the chicken.

4. Mix it All Together

Stir the chicken and cheese mixture together until everything is evenly coated. Let the cheesy chicken mixture simmer on low for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to fully melt and the flavors to blend together.

5. Assemble the Wraps

Take your flour tortillas and place them on a clean surface. Spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture evenly across each tortilla. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top to add a burst of color and freshness.

6. Roll & Serve

Carefully roll each tortilla up, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside. Slice each wrap in half, and serve immediately with your favorite sides. These wraps can also be cut into smaller portions for a party appetizer!

Notes

  • To Achieve Perfectly Golden Wraps: If you prefer a crispy, golden exterior on your wraps, you can give them a quick pan-fry. After assembling the wraps, heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden and crispy. This gives a satisfying crunch while keeping the cheesy filling warm and gooey.
  • Ensure Even Chicken Cooking: When cooking the chicken, make sure the pieces are uniformly cut. This ensures they cook at the same rate and prevents some pieces from being overdone while others are undercooked. If the chicken starts to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium to allow it to cook through without burning the garlic.
  • Cheese Melting Tips: For the creamiest and meltiest wraps, make sure your cheese mixture is thoroughly mixed before adding it to the pan. This helps it melt evenly and coat the chicken perfectly. If you’re using pre-shredded cheese, be aware that it often contains anti-caking agents that can make the cheese melt less smoothly.
