Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 Large Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (About 1-1.5 lbs total)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- To taste Salt
- To taste Black Pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 4 Large Flour Tortillas (Burrito size)
- 1/2 cup Creamy Garlic Sauce
- Optional: Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Dice and Season the Chicken: Begin by dicing the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the diced chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Cook the Garlic Chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through. Set the cooked chicken aside.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the four large flour tortillas. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the creamy garlic sauce evenly over the center of each tortilla. Divide the cooked garlic chicken evenly among the tortillas, placing it over the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken.
- Fold and Grill the Wraps: Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inwards, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a secure wrap. Place the same skillet back over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet (in batches if needed). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
- Serve and Enjoy! Carefully remove the hot wraps from the skillet. Slice them in half diagonally and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Uniform Dicing: Ensuring the chicken pieces are relatively uniform in size helps them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don’t Overcook: Avoid overcooking the chicken in the skillet, as it will be heated again in the wrap. Cook it until just done to keep it tender and juicy.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave (about 15-20 seconds) before assembling. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear when folding.
- Seal the Seam: Cooking the wraps seam-side down first in the hot pan helps to seal them closed, keeping all the delicious fillings inside.
