Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 4 large flour tortillas (or wraps of choice)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for a little tang)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side (depending on thickness), until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
3. Rest the chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter

1. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
2. Remove the skillet from the heat and set the garlic butter aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

1. Warm the tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
2. Layer the wraps: Place a few slices of the cooked chicken in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle the garlic butter over the chicken, then top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
3. Fold the wraps: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.

Step 4: Cook the Wraps

1. Grill the wraps: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the cheese has melted and the wraps are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

1. Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice them into halves or quarters.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips for Success

Don’t overcook the chicken – Overcooking can make the chicken dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked through.

Use fresh garlic – Fresh minced garlic in the butter adds a stronger, more aromatic flavor than garlic powder.

Add veggies – Feel free to add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, onions, or even fresh lettuce for extra flavor and texture.

Keep it warm – If you’re making these ahead, wrap them in foil to keep them warm or store in a covered container in the fridge until ready to serve.

What to Serve With These Wraps

• Fries or Chips: Serve with crispy fries or tortilla chips for a satisfying side.
• Dipping Sauces: Try ranch, garlic aioli, or even a tangy BBQ sauce for extra flavor.
• Fresh Salad: A simple green salad or coleslaw complements the richness of the wraps.
