🧄🍗 What are Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps?

📝 Ingredients

🔹 For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 500g (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into strips

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • Salt to taste

🔹 For Cooking the Chicken:

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

🔹 For the Wrap:

  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or a cheese blend)

  • ½ cup cheddar cheese (optional for extra flavor)

  • ½ cup mayonnaise or garlic sauce

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional)

  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced (optional)

  • ½ onion, thinly sliced (optional)


🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, mix the chicken strips with minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, chili flakes, pepper, and salt.

  2. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge) for best flavor.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.

  3. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Warm the tortillas slightly in a pan or microwave to make them pliable.

  2. Spread 1–2 tbsp of mayonnaise or garlic sauce on each tortilla.

  3. Add a layer of lettuce, tomato, and onion if using.

  4. Place a portion of the cooked chicken in the center.

  5. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken.

Step 4: Toast the Wraps (Optional but Recommended)

  1. Fold the tortilla like a burrito (fold sides in, then roll tightly).

  2. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of oil or butter.

  3. Place the wraps seam side down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.


🧀 Tips for Best Results
