I’ve been on the hunt for that perfect mix of flavors and these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps really caught my eye. I love trying out easy chicken lunch ideas and this one has quickly become a favorite of mine for dinner too.

I start with 1 lb of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips and seasoned with salt and pepper, then toss it with 4 minced garlic cloves, a teaspoon of garlic powder and a dash of Italian seasoning. After a quick sauté in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the chicken is ready to get loaded in a large flour tortilla with a generous blend of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.

Sometimes I even toss in a bit of fresh parsley or romaine lettuce for extra color and crunch. Its bold garlic flavor and melty cheese make it a satisfying meal that even busy families can enjoy when they need a good dinner recipe or a cool wrap idea.

Why I Like this Recipe

1. I love how the garlic and cheeses mix together to make an insanely yummy flavor.
2. I appreciate that the recipe is super simple and quick to whip up when I’m hungry.
3. I really like that I can add extra greens like parsley and romaine for a fresh crunch.

I made these cheesy garlic chicken wraps for lunch and dinner and they are just so good. They are packed with garlic flavor and all that melted cheese that makes every bite a satisfying experience.

FAQ

Q: How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
A: The chicken should turn white and the juices run clear when its done, so make sure no pink parts are left.

Q: Can I use other types of cheese?
A: Yup, you can try provolone or even a mix of cheeses to suit your taste if you dont have mozzarella and cheddar handy.

Q: What if i dont have Italian seasoning?
A: You can mix basil, oregano, and thyme together as a substitute and it works great in this wrap.

Q: Is it possible to make these wraps ahead of time?
A: Yes you can prepare the chicken in advance, but its best to add cheese and any fresh veggies like lettuce right before serving to avoid sogginess.

Q: Do i need to marinate the chicken before cooking?
A: Not really, just seasoning it with salt, pepper, garlic, and powder is enough to give it a nice flavor.

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Instead of boneless skinless chicken breasts you can use turkey breast strips or even pork tenderloin if you’re feeling adventurous
If you dont have mozzarella cheese, try provolone cheese for a similar melty texture and flavor
Swap cheddar cheese with colby jack cheese for a creamy twist that still brings the cheese factor
In place of large flour tortillas you can use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to get a different nutty taste and added nutrition
If you dont have olive oil around, avocado oil or even vegetable oil are solid alternatives for cooking the chicken

Pro Tips

1. Try marinating the chicken with the garlic and spices for about half an hour before cooking. This makes the meat extra flavorful and tender.
2. When you add the cheese, make sure the garlic has enough time to cook first so you dont lose that nice garlicky smell. Let the flavor build up a bit before mixing in the melty cheese.
3. Rotate your tortillas in the pan or microwave evenly so they warm up good. If they get too hot, they might get crispy and hard to roll.
4. For something extra juicy try mixing a little lime juice with your parsley and lettuce before adding them on the wrap. It gives everything a nice fresh kick that really ties the dish together.
