Description

Delicious and satisfying cheesy garlic chicken wraps featuring tender seasoned chicken breast, melted mozzarella and cheddar cheese, fresh garlic, and creamy sour cream all wrapped in golden-seared tortillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 pieces (1.5 lbs) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mozzarella and cheddar blend, shredded
  • 4 pieces large flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, and 1 tsp paprika to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chives or green onions, chopped

Instructions

  • Prep Work: Mince garlic cloves and shred cheese if not pre-shredded. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
  • Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook seasoned chicken 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Add Garlic: Add minced garlic to pan with chicken. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  • Melt Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese blend over chicken. Cover pan and let cheese melt completely, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Assemble Wraps: Place tortillas flat. Divide cheesy chicken mixture among tortillas. Add dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chives. Roll tightly.
  • Sear Wraps: Wipe skillet clean, add more oil. Place wraps seam-side down first, searing until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Notes

  • Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for uniform cooking and faster prep time
  • Warm tortillas in microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable for rolling
  • Use toothpicks to secure wraps while searing if they tend to unroll
  • Don’t overfill wraps – less filling makes for easier rolling and better presentation
