Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite)
  • 4 large burrito-size tortillas

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through (165°F/74°C).
  • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Parmesan. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Return cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic sauce.
  • Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make pliable.
  • Spoon chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese and optional toppings.
  • Fold sides in, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
  • Optional: Sear wraps in skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Cut in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Add your favorite veggies, spices, or sauces to make these wraps your own. Optional: sear them in a skillet for extra crunch, and prep the chicken and sauce in advance for lightning-fast assembly.
