Ingredients (with benefits):

• 2 large chicken breasts, diced – lean protein that keeps the wraps satisfying and filling
• 4 large flour tortillas – sturdy carriers that crisp up nicely when grilled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil – adds healthy fats and helps seasonings adhere
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder – concentrated garlic flavor without extra prep
• 1 teaspoon onion powder – rounds out the savory profile for depth
• 1 teaspoon paprika – adds color and a mild smoky sweetness
• Salt and pepper, to taste – essential seasonings that enhance all flavors
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – provides sharp, melty flavor and structure
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – adds gooey stretch and mild creaminess
• 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce – brings extra garlic punch and silky texture
• Fresh parsley, chopped – brightens the dish and adds a fresh herbal note

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
4. Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
5. Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

FAQ

Q: Can I freeze this recipe?
A: You can freeze cooked, un-grilled wraps individually wrapped in foil or plastic wrap for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–15 minutes, then unwrap and grill briefly to restore crispness.

Q: What can I use instead of creamy garlic sauce?
A: Swap in ranch dressing, tzatziki, or a garlic-y yogurt sauce. For a dairy-free option, try a garlic tahini or hummus.

Q: Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking raw chicken?
A: Yes — shredded rotisserie chicken makes this even faster. Toss it with the seasonings and a splash of olive oil before assembling.

Q: How can I make it spicier?
A: Add a pinch of cayenne to the chicken seasoning, use pepper jack cheese, or drizzle hot sauce into the wrap before folding.

Tips & Tricks

• Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to encourage better browning and more flavor.
• Don’t overfill the tortillas — a modest amount of filling makes folding and grilling easier and prevents tearing.
• To get extra-crispy tortillas, press down gently with a spatula while grilling and use a medium heat so the cheese melts without burning the outside. For more ideas on garlic-forward chicken bites and pairing options, check this recipe: garlic butter chicken bites with creamy parmesan pasta.
• If your tortillas are floppy, warm them for 10–15 seconds in the microwave before assembling to make folding easier.
