Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, for garnish

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • large skillet
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • spatula
  • tongs
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Make the garlic cheese sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add cream and cheese: Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Combine chicken and sauce: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the cheesy garlic sauce.
  6. Assemble the wraps: Warm the tortillas according to package directions. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  7. Fold and seal: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly.
  8. Brown the wraps: Brush each wrap with melted butter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve: Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can also use different types of cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack. To store leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave. You can substitute the chicken with shrimp, steak or even vegetarian alternatives like mushrooms.
