Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, minced garlic, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring a flavorful base for the wraps.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the prepared chicken mixture over each tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top of the chicken mixture for a rich, cheesy layer.
- Roll and Season: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, sealing the filling inside. Brush the outside of each wrap evenly with melted butter, then sprinkle garlic powder and dried parsley for enhanced flavor and a golden, appetizing crust.
- Cook Wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet to prevent them from unrolling. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy. Flip each wrap carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly and the wraps to warm through.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Slice each wrap diagonally in half for easier serving if desired. Serve warm for a satisfying, cheesy garlic chicken meal perfect for any time of day.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience and added flavor.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free wraps to accommodate dietary preferences.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a healthier fat alternative.
- Serve with a side salad or fresh vegetables to balance the meal nutritionally.
