how to make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
- Season the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the chicken in a non-stick pan over medium heat until golden and fully cooked.

Ingredients :
2 large chicken breasts, diced, 4 large flour tortillas, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, Salt and pepper, to taste, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce, Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions :
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

how to store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
Cool the wraps to room temperature. Wrap each tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a pan or oven until the cheese melts. Do not leave at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
tips to make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

- Swap cheddar and mozzarella for pepper jack and Monterey jack for a spicy version.
- Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a different flavor.
- Replace creamy garlic sauce with ranch or pesto for a new taste.
