how to make Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

First things first, let’s gather our ingredients. You’ll need 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into strips, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. We’ll also use some butter, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, warm milk, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Finally, grab some large flour tortillas and any optional toppings like baby spinach or caramelized onions.

Now, let’s get cooking!

Start by tossing the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated. It smells fantastic, doesn’t it?
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until they’re golden and cooked through. Set them aside to cool a bit.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Then, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Time to whisk in the flour to form a roux!
Slowly add warm milk while whisking continuously. Cook until the sauce thickens—it should be nice and creamy.
Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until everything is smooth. Season with a touch more salt and pepper to make it sing.
Warm the tortillas to make them easier to roll. This is key for preventing breakage!
In the center of each tortilla, lay down the chicken, spoon over that glorious garlic cheese sauce, and add any extras you love.
Roll the wraps tightly. Then, toast them in the skillet until they are golden and crisp on both sides. Yum!
Slice them up and serve warm with a drizzle of extra sauce and some fresh parsley on top to brighten it all up.

how to serve Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps are fantastic served hot right from the skillet. You can pair them with a side of mixed greens or some roasted veggies, too. If you’re feeling a bit extra, a side of creamy coleslaw is a perfect match!

how to store Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

If you have leftovers, no worries! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To reheat, pop them in a skillet over low heat. This keeps that crispy outside nice and toasty.

Feel free to mix things up! Add some spice with crushed red pepper flakes if you enjoy a kick. You can also explore different cheeses; sharp cheddar or pepper jack could make amazing alternatives to mozzarella. I love serving these with sourdough garlic rolls for a true cheesy experience.

variation (if any)

You can make these wraps vegetarian by swapping out the chicken for roasted vegetables or beans. Trust me, you won’t miss the meat! Just be sure to keep the cheese sauce as it is—it’s the real star of the show.
