Great Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Great Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a perfect blend of tender chicken, creamy cheese, and fragrant garlic, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. They make a quick and satisfying meal that’s easy to prepare and loved by all ages.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tbsp butter (melted)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 4 large tortillas
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a heated pan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
2. Step 2: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over it. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and heat until it simmers.
3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Step 4: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir the creamy cheese mixture into the chicken until fully combined.
5. Step 5: Lay the tortillas flat and divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly in the center of each. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Fold the edges over the filling and roll each tortilla into a wrap.
6. Step 6: Heat a clean pan or skillet over moderate heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Use a spatula to gently press and seal the wraps as they cook.
7. Step 7: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use leftover rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience.
• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to blend smoothly with the sour cream and shredded cheese.
• Try adding chopped spinach or roasted red peppers for extra veggies and color.
• Swap mozzarella for pepper jack for a spicier kick.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them gently in a skillet over low heat to keep the wraps crisp and the cheese melted, or use a microwave for a quicker option, though they may lose some crispness.

Chicken & Cheese Mixture

• 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, divided
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter

• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Wraps

• 4 large tortillas
• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Sauté Garlic: Heat a pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can become bitter.
2. Heat Chicken: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet with the garlic. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly and heat until it simmers.
3. Mix Cheeses: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
4. Combine Chicken and Cheese Mixtures: Remove the skillet from the heat and fold the cheese mixture into the cooked chicken until fully blended.
5. Assemble Wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the filling. Fold the edges over the filling and roll the tortillas tightly into wraps.
6. Cook Wraps: Preheat a clean skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook each side for about 2 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside melts. Apply gentle pressure with a spatula to help brown evenly and seal the wraps.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
