Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cooking the Chicken: Before assembling your delicious wraps, you’ll need perfectly cooked, juicy chicken. Here are three easy methods based on your preference and available kitchen tools:
- Grilling Method: Coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and your favorite seasonings. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Pan-Frying Method: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the pan and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Baking Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips. Resting helps retain the juices for a more tender bite!
- Making the Creamy Garlic Sauce: This flavorful garlic sauce adds a rich and creamy touch to your wraps. Here’s how to make it: (3 cloves garlic, finely minced, ½ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (for a lighter option), 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, Salt and black pepper to taste). Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sautéed garlic, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Dairy-free alternative? Use a plant-based yogurt or mayo for a similar creamy texture.
- Assembling the Wrap: Now that the chicken and sauce are ready, it’s time to build your wrap for maximum flavor!
- Layering Instructions: Place a soft tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread a generous amount of garlic sauce in the center. Add sliced chicken on top of the sauce. Sprinkle your preferred cheese—cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend—for extra richness. Enhance the flavors with fresh veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, or avocado slices.
- Toasting or Grilling the Wrap: For the ultimate crispy texture and melted cheese goodness, toast or grill your wrap using one of these methods:
- Toasting Method: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Grilling Method: If using a panini press or grill pan, preheat it. Grill the wrap for 2–3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the outside to crisp up perfectly. Once done, slice the wrap in half and serve immediately. Toasting enhances the flavors while keeping the wrap crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
Notes
- Customize by adding spinach, swapping tortillas for flatbreads, or adding jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- For meal prep, cook the chicken and store ingredients separately for quick assembly later.
- Serve with your favorite side dish, such as a crisp salad or sweet potato fries.
