Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 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
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Wraps and Sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the seasonings for balanced flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to prevent the cheese from melting prematurely.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce evenly over each tortilla, which will add moisture and zest to the wrap.
- Assemble Wraps: Evenly distribute the cooked chicken onto the tortillas over the sauce. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses to ensure a rich, gooey texture once melted.
- Fold the Wraps: Carefully fold each tortilla over the filling, forming a neat wrap that encases the chicken and cheese securely.
- Grill the Wraps: Reheat the same pan and grill each wrap for 2-3 minutes on each side. This step melts the cheese inside and crisps the tortilla, adding delicious texture and enhancing flavors.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each in half diagonally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for uniform cooking.
- Adjust garlic powder and paprika according to your taste preferences for a milder or spicier flavor.
- Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if desired.
- The creamy garlic sauce can be store-bought or homemade for enhanced flavor.
- For extra crispiness, press the wraps slightly while grilling in the pan.
- Serve with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
