2. Ingredients for Creamy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or basil)
• 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
• 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
• Additional herbs for garnish

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Prepare the Chicken

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.

Shred the Chicken

Once rested, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks or your hands. This will make it easier to roll inside the wraps and ensure every bite is full of flavorful chicken.

Make the Garlic Sauce

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. If needed, stir in a little more olive oil. Mix in sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy texture. This creates a savory garlic sauce that coats the chicken beautifully.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Distribute the shredded chicken evenly among the tortillas, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and chopped fresh herbs. Drizzle with the garlic sauce, or spoon it over the top for extra flavor.

Wrap and Melt

Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go. For a crispy, melted cheese finish, place the wraps on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the outside is slightly crispy. Alternatively, you can grill the wraps on a air fryer for a few minutes for extra crunch and convenience.

4. Storage Tips for Chicken Wraps

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place in a microwave or oven until warmed through and cheese is melty again. For best taste, reheat wraps in a dry skillet for crispiness.
