Notes
For extra flavor, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the cream cheese mixture or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce. Grill the wraps after assembling for a crispy exterior. Serve with marinara sauce, a simple green salad, sweet potato fries, coleslaw, or tomato soup. Leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken can be used to save time. Wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
