Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps combine tender chicken with rich melted cheeses and fragrant garlic for a comforting and satisfying meal. Perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner, they’re crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor inside.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 medium flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: If the chicken is not cooked, season it lightly with salt and pepper. Bake, sauté, or grill until fully cooked, then dice into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add the diced chicken to the pan and toss to coat evenly with garlic oil. Remove from heat and stir in both shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese while the chicken is still warm.
4. Step 4: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture in the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
5. Step 5: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and press gently. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping carefully to avoid filling spilling out.
6. Step 6: Remove cooked wraps from skillet and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
• For extra spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing garlic.
• Try swapping cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a smoky kick.
• Serve with a side of salsa or sour cream for dipping.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over low heat until crispy again, or microwave briefly and then crisp in a pan to retain texture.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps ahead and refrigerate them covered for a few hours before cooking. Cook just before serving to maintain crispness.

What can I use instead of flour tortillas?

Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas work well as substitutes. Just be mindful of the size and flexibility for rolling the wraps tightly.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Chicken and Garlic Mixture

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

Cheese

• 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

1. Cook and Prepare Chicken: If not already cooked, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and black pepper and cook it by baking, sautéing, or grilling until fully done. Dice the chicken into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté it just until golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Combine Chicken and Garlic: Add the diced chicken to the pan, tossing it with the garlic oil to evenly infuse the flavor. Remove the pan from heat.
4. Add Cheeses: While the chicken is still hot, stir in both the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, allowing them to begin melting and blending with the chicken mixture.
5. Assemble Wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito to encase the filling securely.
6. Cook the Wraps: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and press gently. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
7. Rest and Serve: Once all wraps are cooked, remove them from the skillet and allow to rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

• Use cooked chicken breast to save time or to meal prep in advance.
• Adjust the amount of garlic to taste for milder or stronger flavor.
• Butter helps achieve a crispy, golden exterior on the wraps; substitute with olive oil if preferred for a lighter option.
• Optional parsley adds a fresh visual and flavor contrast but can be omitted.
• Serve these wraps with a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
