Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced (substitute: boneless chicken thighs for extra juiciness)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Wrap Assembly

  • 4 large flour tortillas (use gluten-free wraps if needed)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup creamy garlic sauce (can substitute with garlic aioli – yogurt-based or dairy-free version)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Warm each tortilla slightly to make it more pliable. Spread 2 tablespoons of creamy garlic sauce across the center of each tortilla. Layer with cooked chicken, then sprinkle with ¼ cup of cheddar and 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.
  4. Fold and Toast: Fold each tortilla burrito-style—fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up. Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Toast each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Remove wraps from the skillet and slice in half if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a grill pan for extra texture and smoky flavor.
  • These wraps are freezer-friendly before toasting—perfect for batch meal prep.
  • Make it spicy by adding chili flakes or jalapeños inside the wrap.
  • Substitute boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier chicken.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
  • Swap creamy garlic sauce with garlic aioli (yogurt-based or dairy-free) for a different flavor profile.
