Ingredients You’ll Need

To make these cheesy garlic chicken wraps, you’ll need simple ingredients that come together for an explosion of flavor:

For the Chicken Filling:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into thin strips)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for extra flavor)

For the Garlic Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (for extra depth of flavor)

Other Ingredients:

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1/2 cup sour cream (for dipping, optional)
• 1/4 cup green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. This is where the magic begins—the sizzle, the aroma—it instantly makes the kitchen feel cozy.

Add the chicken strips and season them generously with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden brown, juicy, and fully cooked.

Toss in the minced garlic and let it cook just until fragrant, about a minute. Be careful not to let it burn—this little step adds a rich, garlicky depth that makes the chicken irresistible.

Finish by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the chicken and stirring well. The brightness of the lemon lifts all the flavors, creating a perfectly balanced, flavorful bite.

Remove the pan from the heat and set the chicken aside, ready to be wrapped up in your cheesy garlic chicken wrap.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Cheese Sauce

In the same pan, melt a little butter over medium heat. The moment it starts to shimmer, add the minced garlic and let it cook just until fragrant—about 30 seconds. That garlicky aroma instantly makes your kitchen feel inviting.

Stir in Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a touch of Dijon mustard. These simple ingredients create a flavorful base that really elevates the sauce.

Pour in the heavy cream and bring it gently to a simmer, letting it warm and thicken slightly. Then, add the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the mixture is perfectly melted, smooth, and creamy.

Once everything comes together into a rich, velvety sauce, remove it from the heat, ready to coat your golden chicken strips in cheesy goodness.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay your flour tortillas out on a clean surface, ready for all the cheesy goodness. Spread the cooked garlic-seasoned chicken evenly across each tortilla so every bite has that tender, flavorful chicken.

Spoon a generous amount of the creamy garlic cheese sauce over the chicken, letting it melt into every nook and cranny. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella on top for that irresistible gooey layer.

Finally, fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up snugly into a wrap. Each one is packed with flavor and ready to enjoy—perfect for lunch, dinner, or even meal prep for the week!

Step 4: Toast the Wraps

1. Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
2. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
3. Flip and cook the other side until crispy and the cheese inside has melted.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove the wraps from the heat and let them cool slightly.
2. Slice in half and garnish with fresh parsley and green onions.
3. Serve with sour cream or extra garlic sauce for dipping.
4. Enjoy your cheesy garlic chicken wraps while they’re hot and melty!

Tips for Success

I’ve learned a few tricks that make these chicken wraps even better, and I want to share them with you so your wraps always turn out amazing.

Use Fresh Garlic – I always use freshly minced garlic because it gives so much more flavor than garlic powder. You’ll notice the difference immediately.

Choose the Right Cheese – I like mozzarella for that perfect melty stretch, but sometimes I go for cheddar if I want a sharper, bolder taste. You can mix it up depending on what you’re craving.

Warm the Tortillas – I heat my tortillas slightly before folding. You’ll find it makes them easier to handle and prevents tearing while you assemble the wrap.

Make It Spicy – If you like a kick, I add jalapeños or extra red pepper flakes. You can adjust the spice to your taste and really make the flavors pop.

Add a Crunch – I love tossing in crispy bacon bits or crushed tortilla chips for texture. It’s a little indulgent, but it makes every bite extra satisfying.

How I Like to Switch It Up

I love that this chicken wrap is so versatile. You and I can make it feel new every time with just a few tweaks.

Buffalo Style – I sometimes toss the chicken in buffalo sauce before adding it to the wrap. You’ll get a spicy, tangy kick that’s perfect if you like heat.

BBQ Chicken Wrap – I swap the garlic sauce for my favorite BBQ sauce when I want a smoky, sweet twist. It’s amazing how one simple change transforms the flavor.

Veggie Loaded – I like to sauté bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach and add them to the wrap. You get extra nutrition and a pop of color with every bite.

Low-Carb Option – I use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for a keto-friendly version. You’ll still get all the flavor, just with fewer carbs.

Mediterranean Twist – I sometimes swap cheddar for feta and toss in olives and sun-dried tomatoes. You get tangy, briny flavors that make the wrap feel fancy and fresh.
