Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Garlic

2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

Cheeses

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wraps and Cooking

4 medium flour tortillas
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: If not already cooked, season chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then bake, sauté, or grill until fully cooked. Dice into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Sauté Garlic: In a pan over medium heat, warm olive oil, add minced garlic, and sauté until golden and fragrant (30 seconds to 1 minute).
Combine Chicken and Garlic: Add diced chicken to the pan and toss with the garlic oil to evenly infuse flavor. Remove from heat.
Add Cheese: Stir in shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses while the chicken mixture is still hot to allow the cheese to begin melting.
Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center, fold in the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito.
Cook the Wraps: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and press gently, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to prevent filling from spilling.
Rest and Serve: Remove wraps from skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken or cooked ground chicken as a substitute for diced chicken breast.
Swap in different cheeses such as pepper jack for heat or gouda for creaminess.
Add veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or sautéed onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a spicy kick, mix in crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños with the chicken.
Make gluten-free by using certified gluten-free tortillas; low-carb or whole wheat tortillas work as alternatives.
Brush the outside of the tortilla with garlic butter before toasting for extra garlic flavor.
