Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

These cheesy chicken garlic wraps are a quick and satisfying meal that packs a punch of flavor with every bite. Creamy cheeses blend beautifully with tender garlic-seasoned chicken, all wrapped in soft flour tortillas and baked to a golden finish. Whether for a casual lunch or an easy dinner, these wraps bring comfort and deliciousness to your table.

I first made these wraps on a busy weeknight when I needed something fast but flavorful. They instantly became a favorite with family for their balanced textures and savory garlic kick.

Ingredients You Need

• Two boneless skinless chicken breasts: for lean, tender protein cooked to juicy perfection
• Olive oil: to sear the chicken with a light, fruity aroma
• Garlic powder: brings that warm garlicky undertone essential to the dish
• Salt and pepper: to enhance all the flavors naturally
• Shredded mozzarella cheese: for gooey meltiness every bite
• Grated Parmesan cheese: adds a sharp, nutty dimension
• Cream cheese: softened to create a luxurious creamy base for the cheese mixture
• Fresh parsley: chopped to brighten the richness with herbal freshness
• Large flour tortillas: soft yet sturdy enough to hold all the filling
• Mayonnaise: combined with minced garlic to form a creamy, savory spread
• Optional lettuce and tomato slices: add crunch and freshness for garnish

Detailed Cooking Directions

Build The Flavor:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for six to seven minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing thinly to ensure tender pieces.

Create The Cheese Blend:

In a bowl combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, softened cream cheese, and chopped parsley. Stir until the mixture is evenly blended and creamy, which will coat the chicken perfectly.

Assemble The Wraps:

Lay each tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon about two tablespoons of the cheese blend evenly across each tortilla. Distribute slices of the cooked chicken evenly on top of the cheese.

Add The Garlic Mayonnaise:

Mix mayonnaise with minced garlic until smooth and aromatic. Spread approximately one tablespoon of the garlic mayo over chicken on each wrap to inject creamy, lush flavor.

Add Fresh Touches:

If you like a fresh crunch, place some lettuce leaves and tomato slices over the garlic mayo. These add a refreshing balance to the richness.

Roll And Bake:

Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam side down on a baking sheet lined for easy cleanup. Bake in the preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for ten to twelve minutes until the tortillas turn slightly crispy and the cheese mixture bubbles with melty goodness.

Rest And Serve:

Remove wraps from oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. This resting lets the cheese set slightly and makes slicing easier. Cut each wrap in half and serve warm.

One of my favorite secrets is adding cream cheese to the cheese blend. It creates a silky texture that perfectly balances the mozzarella stretch and Parmesan bite. This recipe reminds me of the time I made it for a weekend game night, and it disappeared faster than I expected because everyone loved the rich garlic flavor and gooey melt.

Smart Storage Tips

Store any leftover wraps wrapped tightly in foil or airtight containers in the refrigerator. They keep well for up to two days and can be reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.

Ingredient Variations

Swap mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile and a little extra kick.

Perfect Pairing Ideas

Serve with a crisp side salad dressed lightly with lemon vinaigrette to cut through the richness.

Enjoy these wraps warm for the best flavor and texture every time.
