  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss the diced chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder until the chicken is evenly coated.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4: Stir in the all-purpose flour into the garlic butter and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to combine, ensuring all the chicken pieces are coated in the creamy garlic sauce. Remove from heat.
Step 6: Lay out your flour tortillas. Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese (mozzarella and cheddar blend) down the center of each tortilla. Top with a spoonful of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Step 7: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 8: For an extra crispy exterior, lightly brush the wraps with a little melted butter or olive oil and pan-fry them in a clean skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is oozing. Alternatively, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy garlic chicken wraps quick irresistible!

Notes

For best results, use fresh garlic and quality cheese. These wraps reheat well in an air fryer or oven for a few minutes to crisp them up again. Feel free to add a handful of fresh spinach or finely diced bell peppers to the chicken mixture for extra veggies!
