Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Chicken:

2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized cubes (I choose thighs when I want extra juiciness)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Wraps:

4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free also work well)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup creamy garlic sauce (store-bought or I typically mix mayo, sour cream, minced garlic, and lemon juice)
Fresh parsley, optional for garnish

Directions

Prepare the Chicken – I toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until coated.
Cook the Chicken – In a skillet over medium heat, I cook the chicken for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden brown and fully cooked. Then I set it aside.
Assemble the Wraps – I lay the tortillas flat, spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce, add the chicken, and top with cheddar and mozzarella.
Optional Crisp – To add some texture, I grill or toast the wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet until they’re golden and the cheese is gooey.

Servings and Timing

Servings: Makes 4 wraps
Prep Time: Just a few minutes to chop and season
Cook Time: Approximately 6–8 minutes for chicken
Total: Under 30 minutes, making it perfect for a quick dinner

Variations

Use chicken thighs instead of breast for juicier results.
Choose different proteins—leftover rotisserie chicken, turkey, or plant-based substitutes work well.
Try different cheese blends like pepper jack or Monterey Jack for unique flavor profiles.
Add extras like sliced veggies or sauces—hot sauce or ranch elevate the flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Refrigerate: I store leftover wraps in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: To restore crispiness, I reheat in a skillet for a few minutes on each side until warmed and melty.

FAQs

Can I use leftover chicken?

Yes, absolutely. I’ve found that leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken works perfectly—I skip the cooking step and assemble straight away.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

I often prepare them in advance. Wrapped in foil or plastic wrap, they stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days. When I’m ready, I reheat them in a skillet until they’re crispy.

What can I serve with these wraps?

I usually pair them with a fresh salad, homemade coleslaw, or crispy fries—whatever complementary side I have on hand.

Can I freeze the wraps?

Freezing wrapped tortillas can lead to sogginess, so I prefer refrigerating and reheating for the best texture.

How can I make the wraps crispier?

I get that satisfying crunch by toasting the assembled wraps in a skillet (sometimes buttering the outside) until golden and crispy on both sides.

Conclusion

I love these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps for their fast preparation, customizable nature, and family-friendly taste. Whether I’m feeding a crowd, prepping meals ahead, or just craving something comforting, these wraps never disappoint. Every bite combines savory chicken, stretchy cheese, and creamy garlic—all wrapped up into a satisfying handheld meal.
