Scale
For the chicken and garlic sauce:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- Make the garlic sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Stir and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Shred the chicken: Once the chicken has cooled slightly, slice it thinly or shred it using two forks. Add the shredded chicken back into the skillet with the garlic sauce and stir to coat.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the cheesy garlic chicken mixture among the tortillas. Add shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and fresh spinach leaves (if using). Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the edges as you go.
- Toast the wraps: Return the wraps to the skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside. You can also use a panini press or grill for a crispier texture.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Feel free to swap the chicken breasts for grilled or rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- If you want to make it even cheesier, add more mozzarella or use a mix of your favorite cheeses.
- These wraps can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
- You can add other veggies like bell peppers or onions for added flavor and crunch.
