Ingredients

This recipe makes 4 hearty wraps — perfect for a family dinner or meal prepping for the week.

For the Chicken:

• 2 large chicken breasts, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup creamy garlic sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, toss diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of creamy garlic sauce across each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, then sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella over the top.

Step 3: Fold and Toast

Fold the tortillas burrito-style: tuck in the sides, then roll from the bottom up, sealing in all the goodness.

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

Remove wraps from the pan and let rest for a minute before slicing in half. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with extra garlic sauce on the side for dipping — it’s irresistible!

Tips for Success

• For crispier wraps: Lightly butter the tortillas before toasting
• Add crunch: Include shredded lettuce or thinly sliced bell peppers inside
• Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or a drizzle of hot sauce
• Use leftovers: Shredded rotisserie chicken works great for an even faster meal

Variations

• Buffalo Style: Toss the chicken in buffalo sauce before assembling
• BBQ Twist: Swap garlic sauce for BBQ and add red onion slices
• Veggie Wrap: Replace chicken with roasted mushrooms or chickpeas for a vegetarian version
• Greek-Inspired: Use garlic yogurt sauce and add cucumber and red onion

Make-Ahead & Storage

Make-Ahead: Cook and season the chicken ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Storage: Wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to regain crispness.

Freezer-Friendly: These wraps freeze well too! Wrap individually in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or skillet directly from frozen.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a side salad, chips, or baked sweet potato fries
• Serve with garlic aioli, ranch dressing, or extra cheese sauce for dipping
• Make mini versions with small tortillas for appetizers or party snacks
