Required Kitchen Tools

Skillet or Pan: For cooking the chicken and assembling the wraps.
Mixing Bowls: To combine the ingredients for the filling.

Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these delicious wraps (exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below):

Cooked Chicken (Shredded or Diced): You can use leftovers or cook fresh chicken breasts or thighs.
Shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar Cheese: I love using mozzarella for its melty texture, but you can use cheddar if you prefer a sharper flavor.
Cream Cheese (Softened): This gives the wraps their creamy texture and rich flavor.
Butter (Melted): For sautéing the garlic and adding extra richness to the filling.
Garlic (Minced): Fresh garlic is a must for that bold, savory flavor.
Sour Cream: This ingredient adds a little tang and helps balance the richness of the cheese.
Garlic Powder: Extra garlic flavor never hurt anyone!
Italian Seasoning: This blend of herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme adds depth to the filling.
Tortillas (Large): Soft flour tortillas work best for wrapping the filling, but you can use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
Salt and Pepper: To season to taste.
Fresh Parsley (Optional, for garnish): A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds color and a touch of freshness to each wrap.

Variations for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

I love how versatile this recipe is! Here are a few variations you can try to change things up:

Add Veggies: Include spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or bell peppers in the filling for extra flavor and nutrients.
Spicy Kick: Add some sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to spice things up!
Different Cheese: Try other cheeses like pepper jack for a bit of heat, or Monterey Jack for a mild, creamy texture.
Substitute Chicken: You can substitute the chicken for shredded rotisserie chicken, turkey, or even sautéed shrimp for a seafood twist.
Low-Carb Option: For a low-carb version, use lettuce wraps or keto-friendly tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
Add Bacon: Crispy bacon can add a salty crunch to the wrap, giving it a fun texture contrast.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that we’ve gathered all the ingredients and decided on any variations, let’s get cooking! Here’s how to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps in just a few easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken

If you’re starting with fresh chicken, cook it first. Here’s a simple way to do it:

Stovetop Directions:

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season your chicken breasts or thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before shredding it using two forks or dicing it into small pieces.

If you’re using leftover chicken, you can skip this step!

2. Sauté the Garlic

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!

3. Make the Creamy Cheese Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella (or cheddar), softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir everything together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. Add the shredded chicken to the bowl and mix it all together. Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper to your liking.

4. Warm the Tortillas

To make the wraps easier to roll, warm your tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet for about 20-30 seconds on each side, or you can microwave them for 10-15 seconds. Warm tortillas are soft and pliable, making them perfect for wrapping.

5. Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. Repeat this step for each tortilla until all the chicken filling is used up.

6. Cook the Wraps

In the same skillet you used to cook the chicken and sauté the garlic, heat a bit more butter or oil over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The cheese should be melted and gooey inside, and the tortilla should be nicely toasted.

7. Serve and Garnish

Once the wraps are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a serving plate. If you like, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor.

How to Serve Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps are great on their own, but you can pair them with a variety of sides to make the meal even more satisfying:

With a Salad: Serve alongside a light garden salad, Caesar salad, or a tangy coleslaw.
With Crispy Fries: If you’re craving something crispy, serve these wraps with some homemade baked fries or air fryer fries for a comforting meal.
With Dips: Pair with ranch, guacamole, or salsa for extra flavor.
In a Bowl: For a low-carb option, you can even deconstruct these wraps and serve the cheesy chicken filling over a bed of greens or cauliflower rice.

Storing Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps are best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, they can be stored for later:

Leftover Wraps: Wrap any leftover wraps in foil or parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing: You can also freeze the wraps before cooking. Wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
Reheating: If you’ve already cooked the wraps, you can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until heated through.
