Discover this quick and delicious 20-Minute Garlic Chicken & Cheese Wraps recipe, perfect for busy weeknights or on-the-go lunches. Packed with tender chicken, melty cheese, and savory garlic, these wraps are irresistibly flavorful and easy to make in just 20 minutes.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  2. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth. This will serve as the flavorful spread for the wraps.
  3. Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the garlic-cream cheese mixture evenly across the center of each tortilla. Add sliced chicken on top, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
  4. Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Lightly brush the wraps with olive oil for crispiness. Cook the wraps seam-side down in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute chicken with cooked shredded rotisserie chicken, turkey, or shrimp for variety.
  • For gluten-free options, replace flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to taste for personalized flavor.
