Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps (Printable View)
Grilled chicken, garlicky three-cheese spread, and fresh greens rolled in warm tortillas for a quick, hearty meal.
# Ingredient List:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Garlic Cheese Mixture
07 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
10 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
11 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
12 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
→ To Assemble
13 - 4 large flour tortillas
14 - 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
15 - 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
16 - 1/4 cup sliced red onion (optional)
# How to Prepare:
01 - Place a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to preheat thoroughly.
02 - Rub chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Place on preheated grill pan and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side, until thoroughly cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, cheddar, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, mayonnaise, and chopped parsley. Mix until a cohesive spread forms.
04 - Lay each flour tortilla flat. Evenly spread one quarter of the garlic cheese mixture over each tortilla. Top with spinach or mixed greens, sliced tomatoes, optional red onion, and sliced chicken.
05 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to form a compact wrap. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and grill each for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
06 - Remove wraps from skillet, slice each in half on the diagonal, and serve warm.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- You get that gooey cheese stretch with every bite plus the punch of fresh garlic—better than any takeout wrap.
- It’s my go-to for clearing out odds and ends in the fridge with a gourmet result every single time.
02 -
- If you rush the chicken and skip resting it, your wraps will run with juices and be tricky to eat.
- Mayo in the cheese mix sounds odd but gives the perfect creamy texture and holds everything together when grilled.
03 -
- Don’t overstuff the wraps—it’s tempting, but it makes grilling messier and the wraps harder to eat.
- A sprinkle of grated Parmesan on the outside of each wrap before grilling gives them an extra cheesy crust.
