Kitchen Equipment Required

To make this quick cheesy chicken wrap, you’ll need:

How to Make the Quick Cheesy Chicken Wrap

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the cooked chicken evenly across all four tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.

Step 3: Wrap It Up

Fold the sides of each tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom up to seal in the filling.

Step 4: Toast to Perfection

Place the wraps seam-side down in the same skillet. Cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Remove from skillet, slice each wrap in half, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy the melty, savory goodness!

Tips for Success

• Use a mix of cheeses: The blend of cheddar and mozzarella gives both flavor and that irresistible cheese pull.

• Don’t skip toasting: It seals the wrap and gives a delicious crunch.

• Cook chicken in batches if your pan is small—crowding leads to steaming, not browning.

• Use a creamy garlic sauce like Caesar dressing or a homemade aioli for best flavor.

Recipe Variations

• Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or drizzle with hot sauce.

• Add veggies: Sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach work great in these wraps.

• Swap proteins: Use rotisserie chicken, turkey breast, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.

• Low-carb: Use low-carb tortillas or large lettuce leaves for a keto-friendly version.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Storing:
Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating:

• Skillet: Reheat in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side to retain crispiness.

• Microwave: Wrap in a damp paper towel and heat for 1–2 minutes (though this will soften the wrap).

• Air Fryer: Reheat at 350°F for 5–6 minutes for a crisp finish.

Absolutely! Leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken makes this even quicker. Just warm it before adding to the wrap.

What’s a good substitute for garlic sauce?

Try ranch dressing, Caesar dressing, or even plain Greek yogurt mixed with minced garlic and lemon juice.

Can I freeze these wraps?

Yes. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in a skillet or oven.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

Let the cooked chicken cool slightly before assembling and don’t overdo the sauce. Toasting also helps seal in the ingredients.
