Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts, but adjust based on how many you’re feeding.
Fresh Garlic: Choose firm cloves for maximum flavor; nothing beats that fragrant aroma filling your kitchen.
Shredded Cheese: Go for a blend of mozzarella and cheddar—it melts beautifully and adds rich flavors.
Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best here; they’re pliable and hold everything together perfectly.
Olive Oil: A drizzle of olive oil helps cook the chicken evenly while adding a nice sheen.
Seasonings (Salt & Pepper): Simple but essential; they enhance all the other flavors in the wrap.
Vegetables (Optional): Feel free to toss in some bell peppers or spinach for added crunch and nutrition.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic until it smells heavenly.

Cook the Chicken : Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped chicken seasoned with salt and pepper. Sauté until they turn golden brown and no longer pink inside.

Add Garlic & Cheese : Once the chicken is cooked through, stir in minced garlic. Cook until fragrant—about 30 seconds—then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top to let it melt into gooey perfection.

Assemble Your Wraps : Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon generous portions of the cheesy mixture onto one side and add any extra veggies if desired.

Wrap It Up : Fold over one edge of the tortilla over filling, then roll tightly from one end to another. Make sure it stays snug like a burrito hug.

Sear Your Wraps : Return the skillet to medium heat without additional oil. Place wraps seam-side down in the pan until crisp and golden brown—about 2-3 minutes per side.

Now you have deliciously crispy cheesy garlic chicken wraps ready to devour!

These cheesy garlic chicken wraps are not just food; they’re an experience packed with flavor! Whether you serve them for lunch or dinner or enjoy them as an after-school snack while binge-watching your favorite show (yes, we see you), they’ll be gone before you know it!
