Ingredients
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup cream cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Begin your culinary adventure by taking the chicken breasts and patting them dry with a paper towel. This crucial step ensures the chicken sears beautifully without steaming. Next, cut each chicken breast into strips. This allows for quicker cooking and makes your wraps easier to handle. Season the strips generously with your choice of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. These simple flavors set the stage for the cheesy goodness to come.
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers with excitement, add the seasoned chicken strips. Sauté the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. The sizzle and aroma will fill your kitchen, making your mouth water in anticipation. Be sure to cook the chicken thoroughly, aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
With the chicken perfectly sautéed, it’s time to take flavor up a notch! Lower the heat and add minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds, letting the garlic release its fragrant aroma. Immediately after, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the chicken. Allow the cheese to melt beautifully, creating a gooey, irresistible coating that binds all the flavors together. Watching the cheese melt is a delightful culinary moment!
Grab your favorite wraps or tortillas and lay them flat on a clean surface. Spoon a hearty portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto each wrap. Don’t be shy with the filling—make it generous! Add fresh veggies like lettuce and diced tomatoes for crunch and color. If you like a touch of zest, a squeeze of lime or a drizzle of ranch dressing can elevate the flavor profile.
It’s time to roll those wraps! Start by folding in the sides of the wrap, then carefully roll it up from the bottom, tucking as you go. Make sure to secure the filling inside for a perfect presentation. Once rolled, cut each wrap in half diagonally and arrange them on a platter. Serve them warm, and watch as friends and family reach for them eagerly.
Notes
Tip: Choose the Right Cheese
Opt for a melty cheese that complements the garlic flavor well. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend can enhance the overall taste of your wraps.
Serving Size: Perfect Portions
These wraps are perfect for sharing! One wrap usually serves one person, but feel free to prepare extra for those who might want a second helping. Everyone loves a good wrap!
Leftovers: Storing and Reheating
If you happen to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or a skillet to regain that crunchy texture instead of using the microwave.
