Are you ready to wow your taste buds and impress your family and friends? Imagine biting into a warm, crispy wrap filled with juicy chicken, gooey melted cheese, and a deliciously garlicky sauce. These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are here to turn an ordinary meal into a delightful experience everyone will be talking about!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- For the Chicken Marinade:
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Cheesy Garlic Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Juice of half a lemon
- For the Wraps:
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach or lettuce
- Optional: sliced jalapeños or red onion for an extra kick
Directions:
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, toss the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the flavors soak in for at least 15 minutes. If you have extra time, marinate for an hour for even more flavor!
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked and golden, about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Cheesy Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, shredded Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir well and set aside.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the tortillas and spread a generous amount of the cheesy garlic sauce over each one. Add a handful of fresh spinach, cooked chicken, and shredded mozzarella cheese. For extra heat, add some jalapeños or sliced red onion.
5. Grill the Wraps
Fold the tortillas to form wraps. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and cook each wrap until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to seal everything together.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Cut the wraps in half and serve warm. Watch as your family devours them with big smiles!
