  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped tomatoes optional
  • Shredded lettuce optional
  • Avocado slices optional
  • Red onion, thinly sliced optional
  • Hot sauce optional

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Saucepan
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • Dry skillet or microwave (for warming tortillas)
  • Panini press (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
  3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Combine Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the cooked chicken to the saucepan with the Creamy Garlic Sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable. Place a tortilla on a flat surface.
  7. Add Fillings: Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and any desired toppings.
  8. Fold the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold the bottom up and over the filling. Roll tightly to create a wrap.
  9. Grill the Wraps (Optional): For a crispy exterior, heat a lightly oiled skillet or panini press over medium heat. Place the wraps in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  10. Serve: Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, warm the tortillas before filling to prevent sogginess. Sauté the garlic gently in butter to mellow its flavor. Use a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese for a balanced flavor profile. Resist the urge to overfill the wraps. For a crispy exterior, grill the wraps in a lightly oiled skillet or panini press. Allow the wrap to sit for a minute or two before cutting in half to help the fillings set.
