Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
• Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Sauce

• In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream. Stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
• Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Combine Chicken and Sauce

• Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat in the cheesy garlic sauce. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

• Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet. Place an equal amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.
• Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 5: Serve

• Serve the cheesy garlic chicken wraps warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

Cook Notes & Tips

• Chicken: You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
• Garlic: For an extra garlic kick, add an extra clove of minced garlic to the sauce.
• Warming the Tortillas: Warming the tortillas makes them easier to fold and prevents them from cracking.

Recipe Variations

• Vegetable Addition: Add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the wraps for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Spicy Version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the garlic sauce for a bit of heat.
• Herb Butter Wraps: Brush the outside of the wraps with melted garlic herb butter before grilling or toasting them for added flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I use pre-cooked chicken for this recipe? A: Yes, you can use pre-cooked chicken to save time. Simply add it to the sauce and heat until warmed through.

Q: How do I store leftovers? A: Wrap any leftover wraps tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet.

Q: Can I freeze these wraps? A: While it’s best to enjoy these wraps fresh, you can freeze them if needed. Wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
