🛒 Ingredients

For the Garlic Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g), diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

For the Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)

Garlic Butter

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Season the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with:

  • Paprika
  • Italian seasoning
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Mix well to coat evenly.


Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly golden.

Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.


Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat.

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese (if using).

Top with:

  • Garlic chicken
  • Mozzarella
  • Cheddar

Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a wrap.


Step 4: Toast the Wraps

Mix the melted butter with the minced garlic and parsley.

Brush each wrap lightly with the garlic butter.

Place the wraps seam-side down in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted.


Step 5: Serve

Slice each wrap in half and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

💡 Tips
