Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken strips and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the garlic sauce:
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer.
Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and cook until the sauce thickens and the cheese is fully melted.
Assemble the wraps:
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat it with the cheesy garlic sauce.
Lay out the flour tortillas and spoon the cheesy chicken mixture into the center of each one.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a little lemon juice for a touch of freshness.
Wrap and serve:
Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling and roll them up tightly.
You can serve them as-is or grill the wraps in a hot pan for a crispy exterior (optional).
Slice in half and enjoy!
Tips:
Customize with veggies: Add some sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the wraps for added nutrition and flavor.
Use chicken thighs: For a juicier option, try using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
Make it spicy: If you love spice, add a dash of cayenne pepper or some sliced jalapeños to the filling.
Grill for extra flavor: After wrapping, you can grill the wraps in a skillet or on a panini press to create a crispy, golden exterior.
Variations:
Buffalo Chicken Wraps: Swap the garlic sauce for buffalo sauce to create a spicy twist.
Chicken Caesar Wraps: Add a Caesar dressing and a handful of romaine lettuce to turn this into a Caesar-inspired wrap.
Veggie Wrap: Omit the chicken and load the wrap with your favorite veggies, such as mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers, for a vegetarian version.
BBQ Chicken Wraps: Replace the garlic sauce with barbecue sauce for a smoky flavor.
Corrections:
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a bit more heavy cream or a splash of chicken broth to thin it out to your desired consistency.
If you don’t have mozzarella, you can substitute with another melty cheese like cheddar or provolone.
Enjoy:
These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are the perfect comfort food! Whether served on a busy weeknight or at a weekend gathering, they’ll satisfy your cravings and impress everyone at the table. Enjoy!
