Ingredients
-
2 large chicken breasts, diced
-
4 large flour tortillas
-
2 cups shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
2 tablespoons butter, divided
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
120ml (½ cup) heavy cream
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Cook the Chicken:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside. -
Make the Garlic Cheese Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly. -
Add Cheese:
Stir in 1½ cups of the shredded cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of cream or water to loosen it. -
Warm the Tortillas:
Warm tortillas in the microwave (covered with a damp paper towel for 20–30 seconds) or heat individually in a dry skillet for about 10 seconds per side. -
Assemble the Wraps:
Add a portion of cooked chicken to the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with cheesy garlic sauce and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese. -
Wrap and Toast:
Fold the sides in, roll up the tortillas tightly, and place seam-side down in a clean skillet. Toast for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. -
Serve:
Slice wraps in half, garnish with parsley (optional), and serve hot.
Notes
-
Make-Ahead Option: Prep the chicken and sauce in advance and store separately. Assemble and toast when ready to serve.
-
Use Rotisserie Chicken: Great for saving time—just reheat and mix with the sauce.
-
Add Veggies: Sautéed peppers, spinach, or mushrooms make great add-ins.
-
Cheese Variations: Swap in pepper jack, provolone, or feta for different flavors.
-
Freezing Tips: Assemble (but don’t toast) and freeze. Thaw overnight, then toast when ready.
