Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps: The 20-Minute Weeknight Wonder That’s Creamy, Savory, and Irresistibly Satisfying


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken breast or thighs, sliced into strips
• 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt & pepper to taste
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Mexican blend cheese
• ½ cup cream cheese or Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
• 6 large flour tortillas (or low-carb wraps)
• Optional add-ins: spinach, sautéed mushrooms, diced tomatoes, or green onions


Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add chicken strips and cook 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Sauté garlic 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn!).
  3. Return chicken to the pan. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and heat through.
  4. Stir in shredded cheese and cream cheese (if using). Cook 1–2 minutes until melty and creamy.
  5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
  6. Divide filling evenly among tortillas. Add any optional veggies if desired.
  7. Roll up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
  8. Optional: Lightly grill the wrap in a pan for 1–2 minutes per side for a crispy exterior.

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch, marinara, or sriracha mayo!

💡 Meal prep friendly: Assemble ahead and refrigerate. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for best texture.
