(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Lower the heat and add the cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and add them to the skillet, coating them in the cheesy garlic sauce. Stir to combine.
Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for about 30 seconds to soften them.
Place a generous amount of the cheesy chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Fold the sides in and roll up the tortilla to create a wrap.
In a clean skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 4 wraps, perfect for serving 2 to 4 people, depending on portion size. Preparation takes about 10 minutes, and cooking time is around 20 minutes, making the total time about 30 minutes.

Variations

Vegetarian: Swap the chicken for sautéed mushrooms or a mix of your favorite veggies.
Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce for some heat.
Different Cheeses: Experiment with different cheeses, like cheddar or provolone, to suit your taste.
Add-ins: You can also add some sautéed onions, spinach, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.

Storage/Reheating

To store leftover wraps, wrap them tightly in foil or place them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for about 2-3 days. When ready to reheat, I recommend using a skillet over medium heat to warm them up. This will help keep the wraps crispy. Alternatively, I can reheat them in the microwave, though they won’t be as crispy.

FAQs

How can I make the wraps ahead of time?

I can prepare the cheesy garlic chicken filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Then, I can just heat it up and assemble the wraps when ready to serve.

Can I use other types of protein in these wraps?

Yes! I can easily substitute the chicken with cooked shrimp, beef, or even tofu for a different take on this recipe.

Can I freeze these wraps?

I can freeze the wraps before or after cooking. If freezing before cooking, just make sure they’re well wrapped. To cook from frozen, I would thaw them first and then crisp them up in a skillet.

Can I use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas?

Absolutely! I can use whole wheat, low-carb, or gluten-free tortillas if I prefer a healthier option or have dietary restrictions.

How do I make these wraps even more garlicky?

For a more intense garlic flavor, I could add extra garlic to the cream cheese sauce or even sprinkle some garlic powder on the tortillas before wrapping them.
