Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 medium chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup cooked spinach or kale
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt and freshly ground black pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Make the Cheesy Sauce: Lower the heat and add the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and grated Parmesan to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheeses melt and combine into a creamy sauce. If desired, add optional ingredients such as spinach or sun-dried tomatoes at this stage.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the cheesy garlic sauce. Warm through for another 2 minutes.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly distribute the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center of each. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the fillings for added freshness.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly to form wraps. Serve immediately while warm, or grill the wraps lightly in a clean skillet for a crispier texture, if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option.
- For a low-carb version, replace flour tortillas with lettuce wraps.
- Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can provide a nice mild heat.
- These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
