Description

Discover our Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps recipe—a quick, flavorful meal featuring juicy chicken, creamy garlic sauce, and melty cheese.


Ingredients

  • Chicken Breasts: 2 large, boneless, skinless (sliced into thin strips)
  • Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Heavy Cream: 1/2 cup
  • Grated Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup
  • Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup, finely grated
  • Fresh Spinach: 1 cup, roughly chopped
  • Cherry Tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
  • Whole Wheat Tortillas: 4 large wraps
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste
  • Fresh Basil: A handful, roughly torn (for garnish)
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a hint of spice

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  • Make the Garlic Cream Sauce:
    Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

  • Combine Chicken & Veggies:
    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are warmed through.

  • Assemble the Wraps:
    Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Garnish with torn basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.

  • Wrap & Serve:
    Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. For an extra melty finish, place the wraps back in the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly crisp. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Ingredient Substitutions:
    If you’re looking for a lighter version, consider swapping out heavy cream for half-and-half or a blend of Greek yogurt and a splash of milk. This substitution not only reduces calories but also maintains a creamy texture while offering a tangy twist.

  • Cheese Variations:
    While mozzarella and Parmesan create a delightful blend of creaminess and sharpness, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile. Combining different cheeses can elevate the dish to match your personal taste preferences.

  • Customizable Spice Level:
    The recipe includes red pepper flakes for an extra kick, but you can easily adjust the amount to suit your heat preference. For those who love a spicier dish, add a bit more; or, if you prefer a milder taste, simply omit the flakes without compromising on flavor.
