Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 large flour tortillas (or low-carb wraps)
- ¼ cup cream cheese or garlic sauce (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Why These Ingredients Work
Juicy chicken provides protein and substance, while cheese adds richness and that irresistible stretch. Garlic and seasoning elevate the flavor, making each wrap bold, savory, and comforting.
Ingredient Notes
- Chicken: Rotisserie chicken works great for speed and flavor.
- Cheese: Mozzarella melts smoothly; cheddar adds sharpness.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic gives the best aroma and taste.
- Wraps: Use low-carb or keto wraps if desired.
- Cream Cheese: Optional, but it adds extra creaminess.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant — not browned.
Step 2: Season and Warm
Add cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the chicken is warm and coated in garlicky goodness.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
Lower the heat and stir in shredded cheese (and cream cheese if using). Mix until the cheese melts into a creamy, irresistible filling.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay tortillas flat and spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture down the center of each one. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
Step 5: Wrap and Toast
Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Toast wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet or panini press until golden, crispy, and melty inside.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Let wraps rest for a minute, then slice in half. Enjoy while warm and cheesy 😍
Pro Tips & Variations
Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for extra nutrition. For a spicy kick, mix in red pepper flakes or hot sauce. Swap chicken for turkey or shrimp if you like. Want it keto-friendly? Use cheese wraps or lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. These wraps also reheat well in a skillet, keeping them crispy. If meal prepping, store the filling separately and assemble fresh for best texture. Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are endlessly customizable — don’t be afraid to make them your own!
