Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Cheesy garlic chicken wraps are my go to solution for quick weeknight dinners and easy lunches. Packed with juicy chicken and three cheeses then coated in buttery garlic they satisfy a serious craving without much fuss.

These wraps first won my family over on a busy school night. Now I make them every time we need something fast and extra comforting.

Ingredients

• Cooked chicken breast: Shredded or diced chicken is your hearty protein base To save time try using rotisserie chicken from the deli
• Shredded mozzarella cheese: Gives a stretchy gooey texture Look for whole milk mozzarella for the best melt
• Shredded cheddar cheese: Adds sharpness and rich flavor Mild or sharp cheddar both work well
• Grated Parmesan cheese: Punches up the savory notes Use fresh grated Parmesan for the best taste
• Large flour tortillas: Flexible enough to roll without tearing Choose ones that are soft and not dried out
• Unsalted butter: Forms the base for the garlic butter and keeps wraps crisp and golden Use real butter for richer flavor
• Fresh garlic: Infuses the wraps with unmistakable garlicky goodness Pick plump cloves for best results
• Dried parsley: Gives a bit of color and mild herb flavor Quality parsley brings a fresher aroma

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix the Filling:

Combine shredded chicken mozzarella cheddar and Parmesan in a large bowl Stir thoroughly until all cheese is distributed and chicken is coated evenly The mix should look cohesive and well blended

Fill and Roll:

Place a tortilla flat on your counter Spoon about a quarter of the filling into the center Fold the sides in towards the middle then roll up tightly into a burrito shape This prevents the filling from leaking out during cooking Repeat with the rest

Make Garlic Butter:

In a separate small bowl blend the melted butter with minced garlic and dried parsley Stir until the garlic and herbs are evenly suspended in the butter

Griddle to Golden:

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat Brush the outside of each wrap with garlic butter Lay wraps seam side down and cook for two to three minutes per side until both sides are golden and crisp The garlic butter helps them crisp up beautifully

Bake Until Perfect:

Preheat your oven to one hundred ninety degrees Celsius Place the garlic buttered wraps seam side down on a lined baking sheet Bake for about ten to twelve minutes flipping halfway so they crisp evenly all around

Serve Hot:

Enjoy your wraps while they are piping hot Offer your favorite dips such as ranch creamy garlic aioli or tangy marinara for dunking

Pin it

My favorite part is always grating fresh Parmesan over the filling It takes me back to childhood Friday nights when everything felt a little special with an extra sprinkle of cheese

Storage tips

Keep leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days Reheat in a skillet or oven instead of the microwave to keep them crisp If you want to freeze the wraps let them cool completely then wrap tightly in foil and keep in the freezer for up to two months

Ingredient substitutions

You can swap the chicken for turkey or shredded rotisserie pork For a vegetarian option try sautéed mushrooms and spinach Any cheese that melts well will do so feel free to use Monterey jack or even a blend of what you have on hand If you have only salted butter adjust the amount of Parmesan or skip extra salt

Serving suggestions

Pair these wraps with a crisp green salad or a pot of tomato soup for a complete meal For parties cut each wrap into small rounds and serve toothpick style with various dips For even more flavor toss in some caramelized onions or finely chopped roasted peppers
