How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Season the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.

2. Cook the Chicken

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces.
Cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly golden on the outside.
Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute.

3. Assemble the Wraps

Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous spoonful of creamy garlic sauce down the center.
Top with a handful of the cooked chicken, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and a bit of chopped parsley if using.

4. Wrap It Up

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom like a burrito.
If needed, secure the wrap with a toothpick or gently toast it seam-side down in a pan for a minute to seal.

5. Optional Step: Toast for Extra Flavor

If you like your wraps a little crispy, wipe the skillet clean, return it to medium heat, and lightly toast each wrap for 1–2 minutes per side.
This makes the tortillas golden and slightly crunchy, while the cheese inside melts even more.

Serving and Decoration

Once the wraps are ready, slice them in half diagonally for a restaurant-style look.
Sprinkle a little extra chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, colorful touch.
Serve them with extra garlic sauce on the side for dipping — because more sauce is always a good thing.

How to Serve Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps are super versatile and work for all kinds of meals:

• Quick Lunch: Pair with a side salad or a handful of chips for a filling midday meal.
• Easy Dinner: Serve with roasted veggies, sweet potato fries, or a bowl of soup.
• Party Platter: Slice into smaller pieces, secure with toothpicks, and serve as cheesy chicken bites for a crowd.
• Meal Prep: Wrap them individually in foil and keep in the fridge for grab-and-go meals all week long.

Storing Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Refrigerator: Wrap the assembled wraps tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
• Freezer: You can freeze these wraps too! Wrap each one individually in foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in a skillet or oven until heated through.
• Reheating: For best results, reheat wraps in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F until the cheese is melty and the chicken is warmed through.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Cut Even Pieces: Dice the chicken into even-sized pieces so they cook uniformly and stay juicy.
• Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave or on a pan to make them more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
• Don’t Overfill: It’s tempting to pack them full, but too much filling makes them harder to wrap and they might fall apart.
• Use Two Cheeses: Mixing cheddar and mozzarella gives you that perfect combo of sharp flavor and gooey stretchiness.
• Seal the Wraps: Toasting the wraps after assembling helps melt the cheese and lock everything inside.

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps FAQs

Q: Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking fresh chicken?
Yes, absolutely! Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken can save time. Just shred it, warm it up with the spices, and continue assembling as directed.

Q: What’s the best type of creamy garlic sauce to use?
You can use store-bought garlic sauce, homemade aioli, or even mix mayonnaise with a little garlic powder and lemon juice for a quick version.

Q: Can I make these wraps dairy-free?
Sure! Swap out the cheddar and mozzarella for dairy-free cheese alternatives and use a dairy-free creamy sauce.

Q: How can I keep the wraps from getting soggy if making ahead?
Let the chicken cool slightly before assembling and avoid overloading with sauce inside. Keep wraps tightly wrapped in foil until ready to eat.

Q: What’s the best way to reheat frozen wraps?
Thaw in the fridge overnight, then bake in the oven at 350°F wrapped in foil for about 15–20 minutes or until heated through.
