Jump to Recipe

I love making these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps because they’re super simple and pack a ton of flavor. I start with 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips and season them with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.

I heat up some olive oil and brown the chicken, then add minced garlic to bring out a rich flavor that really makes the dish pop. After the chicken is cooked through, I warm up 4 large flour tortillas and load them with a generous amount of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

I like to melt the cheese with a touch of butter so the flavors blend really well. Sometimes I add fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onions for that extra crunch and nutrition.

It’s a great mix of protein and veggies while being quick to prepare, making it perfect for anytime you need an easy dinner.

FAQ

Can I use other types of cheese instead of cheddar and mozzarella? A: Yep, you can swap 'em for any meltable cheese you like, like monterey jack or even a mix of your favorites to change up the flavor.

Do I need to marinate the chicken beforehand? A: Nah, the garlic powder and seasonings are enough to give it a nice flavor, so you can toss the strips right in and cook 'em.

How should I cook the chicken strips to get the best flavor? A: Just heat up the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook 'em until they're nice and brown on the outside and fully cooked inside. Don't overcook, or they can get dry.

Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time? A: Sure, you can prep all the ingredients earlier and assemble them later, but I suggest warming the wraps a bit in a pan when you're ready to serve so the cheese melts perfectly.

What other toppings can I add to enhance the dish? A: You might wanna add some fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, or red onions for a bit of crunch and extra flavor. Feel free to get creative!

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you’re looking to switch up the meat, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier bite.
Instead of cheddar cheese, try using pepper jack cheese to add a spicy twist to your wraps.
If mozzarella isn’t working for you, provolone cheese is a decent substitute that melts well too.
For the butter, you might want to use a bit of margarine or even some vegetable oil if you’re trying to avoid dairy.
Can’t find flour tortillas? You can use large pita breads or wraps as an alternative base for your chicken creation.

Pro Tips

1. Try cooking the garlic right at the end instead of everytime you add stuff to the pan. If its cooked too long it can turn bitter and kinda ruin the flavor.
2. After you add the cheese, lower the heat so that it melts slowly into the chicken instead of burning. It’ll make the whole mix extra gooey and tasty.
3. Warm your tortillas just enough so they’re pliable, but be careful not to overheat them or they might dry out, making the wrap less enjoyable.
4. If you have the time, let the chicken rest for a couple minutes after cooking before adding all the seasonings. This helps keep the chicken juicy and lets the flavors really meld together.
