How to prepare Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
Follow the steps below. Work on one part at a time: season the chicken, cook it, build the wraps, then grill them a bit to melt the cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Steps
- In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
How to serve Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

Tips to make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps perfectly
- Dice chicken small so it cooks fast and fits well in the wrap.

- Use a mix of cheeses for gooey and tasty flavor.
- Let the cooked chicken rest a minute so it stays juicy.
Variations
- Add cooked bacon bits for a smoky taste.
- Swap chicken for shredded rotisserie chicken for less prep.
- Add veggies: bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
- Use pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
- Make it vegetarian: use cooked mushrooms or tofu instead of chicken.
