Ingredient Tips

Chicken: Rotisserie chicken saves time; freshly cooked breasts add control over seasoning.
Tortillas: Large flour tortillas roll easily; whole wheat adds heartiness.
Cheese: Freshly grated mozzarella melts best; cheddar or provolone work for bolder flavor.
Butter: Unsalted lets you adjust saltiness; use olive oil for a dairy-free option.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic is key for pungent flavor; avoid pre-minced for best results.

Directions for Delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Let’s make these Delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps!

Make the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, I melt ¼ cup unsalted butter over medium heat.
I add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, avoiding burning.
I stir in 2 tbsp chopped parsley (if using) and remove from heat as soon as it wilts.

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, I toss 2 cups shredded chicken with half the garlic butter until coated.
I season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper, then mix in 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella until evenly distributed.

Assemble the Wraps

I lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon ½ cup of the cheesy chicken filling in a line on one side.
I add optional extras like bacon bits, spinach, or tomatoes for extra flavor.
I fold in the tortilla edges and roll tightly into a burrito shape, repeating for all 4 wraps.

Cook the Wraps

I heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
I brush the outside of each wrap with the remaining garlic butter and place seam-side down in the skillet.
I cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy, with melted cheese inside.

Serve

I let the Delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps cool slightly, then slice in half.
I serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic mayo, or hot sauce.

Storage

I wrap leftover Delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps tightly in foil or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I use a skillet or oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to keep the tortilla crisp; microwaving softens them. For freezing, I wrap cooled wraps in foil and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month, thawing in the fridge before reheating in a skillet.
