Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps combine tender chicken and a blend of melted cheeses wrapped in a crispy, garlicky tortilla. This comforting and flavorful dish is perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner that the whole family will love.

Two rolled crepes are filled with shredded white chicken meat, wrapped tightly, and placed side by side on a wooden board. Each crepe is covered with a thick, melted layer of cheese that is golden brown in spots, giving a slightly bubbly texture. Small green herb leaves are scattered on top and around the crepes, adding a fresh color contrast. The cheese is smooth and creamy, with some of it oozing down the sides of the crepes. The background features a blurred white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 480g cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 110g mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 60g sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 20g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 45g unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Mix well until the cheesy ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: Lay a flour tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon about 120g of the cheesy chicken mixture into the center. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito shape. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and dried parsley until well blended and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush each wrap generously with the garlic butter mixture on the outside. Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Step 5: Preheat the oven to 190°C. Brush the pan-fried wraps with any remaining garlic butter. Arrange them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and heated through.
  6. Step 6: Serve the wraps immediately while hot and melty inside. Enjoy with dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or creamy garlic aioli if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut and added flavor.
  • Add diced bell peppers or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for extra veggies.
  • For a spicier kick, sprinkle some chili flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the cheesy chicken mixture.
  • Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or spinach wraps for a different taste and nutrition boost.
  • If you prefer a softer wrap, skip the oven step and enjoy them right after pan-frying.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 180°C for 8-10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and heated through. Avoid microwaving to maintain the crispiness.

How to Serve

The overall look is warm and inviting with a mix of soft, melted textures and a white marbled surface underneath. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked chicken?

It’s best to use cooked chicken to avoid undercooked meat inside the wraps. If using raw chicken, cook it fully before shredding and assembling the wraps.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps and store them unpan-fried in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready, cook as directed by pan-frying and baking for best results.
