Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Other Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent the wraps from sticking during baking.
Season and Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust and are cooked through.
Rest Chicken and Sauté Garlic: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices. Using the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute, to infuse flavor.
Shred and Season Chicken: Shred the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with the Italian seasoning to evenly coat the meat with herbs.
Assemble Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas flat. Spoon the shredded chicken evenly onto each tortilla and sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly to form wraps.
Bake Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the wraps are heated through and the cheddar cheese has melted beautifully, creating that ooey-gooey texture.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a dash of smoked paprika to the chicken seasoning.
To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
Using freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded cheese helps the cheese melt better.
Leftover wraps can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven or microwave.
