Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the creamy garlic sauce:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For assembling the wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional, for crunch)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional, for freshness)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken strips with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the creamy garlic sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, continuing to stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Assemble the wraps:
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
- Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the creamy garlic sauce on the center of each.
- Add the cooked chicken strips on top of the sauce, and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro if using.
- Wrap and serve:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
- Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a side of crispy French fries, chips, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
- Serve with a dipping sauce such as ranch or extra garlic butter for added flavor.
