Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs, if preferred)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Sauce:

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp heavy cream (optional for a richer sauce)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

For the Wraps:

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of both)
• 1/2 cup fresh spinach or lettuce (optional, for freshness)
• Sour cream or ranch dressing (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side, until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips or cubes.
2. Make the Garlic Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
   • Stir in the heavy cream, if using, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes.
   • Add the cooked chicken into the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Stir in the chopped parsley for some fresh flavor.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
   • Lay the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
   • Place a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken in the center of each tortilla.
   • Top with shredded cheese and a handful of fresh spinach or lettuce if using.
4. Wrap and Cook:
   • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
   • If you prefer a crispy wrap, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5. Serve:
   • Slice the wraps in half and serve with sour cream or ranch dressing on the side, if desired. You can also drizzle a bit of extra garlic butter sauce over the wraps for even more flavor.

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep! They’re super customizable, too—you can add other veggies, use a different type of cheese, or even switch up the seasonings to suit your taste. Enjoy!
