Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a deliciously comforting meal that’s perfect for any day of the week. Packed with tender chicken, melted cheeses, and savory garlic, these wraps offer a satisfying blend of flavors and textures that everyone will love.

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 your chicken is not cooked, season it lightly with salt and pepper and bake, sauté, or grill until fully cooked. 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 until golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
3. Step 3: Add the diced chicken to the pan, tossing it in the garlic oil to evenly infuse flavor. Remove from heat once heated through.
4. Step 4: Stir in both shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses while the chicken is still hot to help the cheese start melting.
5. Step 5: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
6. Step 6: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and press gently. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
7. Step 7: Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing.
8. Step 8: Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the chicken mixture before cooking.
• Swap out mozzarella or cheddar for your favorite cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicy twist.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier or more colorful option.
• Add fresh veggies such as sliced bell peppers or spinach inside the wrap before cooking for added crunch and nutrition.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side or microwave briefly until heated through. Avoid overheating to keep the cheese from becoming rubbery.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps in advance and refrigerate them uncooked. Cook the wraps just before serving to maintain the best texture and flavor.

What can I use instead of chicken?

You can substitute cooked turkey, cooked shrimp, or even sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version. Adjust seasoning to suit the alternative protein or vegetable.

Chicken Mixture

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

Wraps

• 4 medium flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the chicken: If not already cooked, season chicken breasts lightly with salt and black pepper. Bake, sauté, or grill until fully cooked, then dice 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 for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and fragrant.
3. Combine chicken and garlic: Add the diced chicken to the pan with the garlic oil and toss well to infuse the chicken evenly with the garlic flavor.
4. Add cheeses: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses while the chicken is still hot to allow the cheese to begin melting.
5. Assemble wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
6. Pan-toast wraps: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet, pressing gently. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to avoid spilling.
7. Rest and serve: Once all wraps are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top if desired and serve warm.

Notes

• Use pre-cooked chicken to save time or cook fresh as preferred.
• Adjust the amount of garlic to taste if you prefer less or more pronounced flavor.
• For a spicier touch, add a pinch of chili flakes to the chicken mixture.
• Butter helps achieve a crispy, golden crust on the wraps; alternatively, use olive oil but expect a different texture.
• These wraps are best enjoyed warm right after cooking for the perfect melty cheese texture.
• Chopped fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness but is optional.
