Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts (or 3-4 thighs, boneless and skinless)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (or any wrap of your choice)
- Fresh spinach or lettuce leaves (optional, for added crunch)
- Sliced tomatoes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts (or thighs) with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Once done, remove from the skillet and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly into strips.
2. Prepare the Cheesy Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until everything is melted and combined into a creamy sauce. You can add a splash of milk or chicken broth to thin out the sauce if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the flour tortillas in the skillet for about 20 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.
- Place a few slices of the cooked chicken in the center of each tortilla.
- Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic sauce over the chicken.
- Add fresh spinach or lettuce, and sliced tomatoes if desired.
4. Roll and Serve:
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
- Slice in half if desired and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
5. Optional – Crisp the Wrap:
- For an extra crispy texture, you can place the wrapped tortillas back in the skillet, seam side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
Tips:
- Substitute proteins: Feel free to use shredded rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken thighs, or even ground chicken in place of the sliced breast meat.
- Add vegetables: You can add other veggies like sautéed bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the wrap for more flavor and texture.
- Make it spicy: For a little kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add sliced jalapeños to the wraps.
