Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon paprika

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly.
While the chicken cools, melt butter in the same skillet and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the garlic butter mixture, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley across each tortilla.
Place the sliced chicken on top of the cheese mixture and roll up the tortillas tightly to form wraps.
Place the wraps seam side down on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the wraps are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve hot.

Variations
Add vegetables: For a healthier twist, I sometimes add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or onions to the wraps. They pair really well with the garlic and cheese.
Use different cheeses: If mozzarella and Parmesan aren’t your favorites, I’ve tried adding cheddar or gouda for a different flavor profile.
Spicy twist: For a kick, I sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes into the garlic butter or add some hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
Make it gluten-free: I’ve used gluten-free tortillas before, and they work perfectly, making this a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
Storage/Reheating
Storage: If I have leftovers, I store the wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheating: To reheat, I pop them back in the oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes to ensure the wraps stay crispy. Alternatively, I can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side.
FAQs
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, I can use frozen chicken, but it’s important to thaw it first before cooking. I usually thaw the chicken in the fridge overnight for the best results.
Can I make this recipe in advance?
Absolutely! I can prepare the chicken, garlic butter, and even assemble the wraps ahead of time. Then, I just need to pop them in the oven when I’m ready to serve.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Definitely! While mozzarella and Parmesan work well, I love experimenting with different cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or even a blend of Italian cheeses for extra flavor.
Can I make this recipe without garlic?
If garlic isn’t my thing, I can leave it out and still have a tasty dish. I might substitute it with some onion powder or a bit of lemon zest for a different flavor profile.
How can I make these wraps spicier?
To add some heat, I can sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes into the garlic butter or even use a spicy seasoning mix for the chicken. If I’m a big fan of spice, I might drizzle some hot sauce inside the wraps!
Conclusion
These cheesy garlic chicken wraps are a perfect blend of flavors that I can enjoy any time. With juicy chicken, melty cheese, and the rich garlic butter, they’re sure to satisfy my cravings. The best part is how quick and easy they are to make, making them an ideal choice for a busy weeknight meal or a fun snack.
