Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: Opt for about 3-4 breasts; they cook quickly and evenly for juicy results.
Fresh Garlic: Use 4-5 cloves for that intense, aromatic flavor that only fresh garlic can provide.
Tortillas: Choose large flour tortillas; they hold everything together without tearing.

For the Sauce:

Cream Cheese: This is where the magic happens—choose full-fat cream cheese for optimal creaminess.
Shredded Cheese: A blend of mozzarella and cheddar gives that irresistible gooey texture.
Fresh Vegetables: Bell peppers and spinach add color and nutrition; feel free to mix it up!
Olive Oil: A drizzle helps cook the chicken perfectly while adding flavor.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Workspace: Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools—this makes everything easier! You’ll need a cutting board, knife, skillet, and spatula.

Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides—around 6-8 minutes—until cooked through.

Add Garlic Goodness: Once the chicken is done cooking, throw in minced garlic during the last minute so it becomes fragrant but doesn’t burn.

Create the Creamy Filling: Remove the skillet from heat. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese with shredded cheese until creamy. Add chopped vegetables for added crunch.

Wrap It Up!: Lay tortillas flat and spread a generous amount of the creamy filling down the center of each tortilla. Top with sliced chicken before rolling them up tightly.

Crisp Those Wraps!: Place wrapped tortillas seam-side down in a heated skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown on both sides—about 3-4 minutes—allowing cheese to melt inside.

Enjoy these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps fresh off the skillet or serve them with your favorite dipping sauce!

Whether it’s a family dinner or casual get-together with friends, these wraps are bound to impress everyone at your table!
