Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 large chicken breasts (diced)
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Seasonings and Other Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley (chopped (optional garnish))
Instructions
- Blend diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the aromatic seasoning mixture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet to medium heat and sauté the seasoned chicken for 6-8 minutes, stirring intermittently until the meat turns golden brown and cooks completely through.
- Transfer the cooked chicken from the skillet and let it rest momentarily while preparing the tortillas.
- Spread a layer of garlic sauce across each tortilla, creating a flavorful base for the wrap.
- Distribute the warm chicken evenly over the sauced tortillas, ensuring consistent coverage.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken, allowing for maximum cheese distribution.
- Carefully fold the tortillas, tucking in the sides to create a secure wrap structure.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until the exterior becomes crispy and golden.
- Gently press the wraps with a spatula to encourage even browning and cheese melting.
- Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice diagonally for an elegant presentation, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for even cooking and easier cutting.
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure better spice adherence and crispier exterior.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular tortillas with large lettuce leaves or gluten-free wraps.
- Lower-fat variation can use Greek yogurt instead of garlic sauce and reduced-fat cheese blends.
