Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Wrap and Filling
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the spices to ensure maximum flavor infusion.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. Once cooked, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Wraps: Lay out each flour tortilla and spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce across the surface. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken onto each tortilla, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken for a rich, cheesy layer.
- Grill the Wraps: Carefully fold each tortilla over the filling to form wraps. Place the wraps back into the non-stick pan and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside melts perfectly.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan and slice each in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor, then serve immediately while warm and delicious.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some sliced jalapeños to the chicken seasoning.
- Use a low-fat cheese or omit the mozzarella for a lighter option.
- If you want to prep ahead, cook the chicken in advance and assemble wraps when ready to eat.
- The creamy garlic sauce can be replaced with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce for a different flavor twist.
