Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Here’s what you’ll need to make these mouthwatering wraps:

• 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced) – This is perfect for using up leftover rotisserie chicken.
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese – Feel free to mix cheeses if you want a blend of flavors.
• 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened) – This adds creaminess to the chicken mixture.
• 2 tbsp butter (melted) – You’ll sauté the garlic in this for maximum flavor.
• 3 cloves garlic (minced) – Fresh garlic brings out that rich, savory taste.
• 1/4 cup sour cream – Adds a tangy creaminess.
• 1 tsp garlic powder – Enhances the garlic flavor even more.
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning – For a bit of herby goodness.
• 4 large tortillas – Choose your favorite kind of wrap: flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free.
• Salt and pepper (to taste) – For seasoning the chicken to perfection.
• Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional) – Adds a pop of color and freshness.

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need:

• A skillet to sauté the garlic and chicken.
• A mixing bowl for the cheese and cream mixture.
• Tongs or a spatula to flip the wraps.
• A grill pan or another skillet to toast the wraps until golden and crispy.

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Sauté the Garlic Chicken

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until it’s fragrant but not browned. Add the shredded or diced chicken into the skillet and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, making sure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it heat through for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2: Mix the Cheese Filling

In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.

Step 3: Combine the Chicken and Cheese Mixtures

Remove the garlic chicken from the heat and transfer it into the bowl with the cheese mixture. Stir until the chicken is fully coated and everything is combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly divide the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture.

Step 5: Fold and Toast

Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll them up tightly into wraps. Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat and cook each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side. You’ll know they’re done when the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

If desired, garnish your wraps with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve warm, and enjoy every cheesy, garlicky bite!

What to Serve with Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps are fantastic on their own, but if you’re looking to round out your meal, here are a few ideas:

• A Simple Salad: A light green salad with a tangy vinaigrette balances the richness of the wraps.
• Sweet Potato Fries: The perfect crispy side to complement these cheesy wraps.
• Roasted Vegetables: Add some nutrition with roasted broccoli or carrots.

Tips for the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Use Leftover Chicken: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rotisserie or grilled chicken. You can even use pre-cooked frozen chicken strips to save time.
• Add Veggies: For an extra boost of flavor and nutrition, try adding sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the chicken mixture.
• Cheese Swap: Don’t limit yourself to mozzarella or cheddar—Monterey Jack, provolone, or even pepper jack would be delicious!
• Make it Spicy: For a kick, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce before rolling up the wraps.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Got leftovers? No problem! Store the wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, or warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
