Dig into these cheesy garlic chicken wraps that bring serious comfort and are so simple to throw together You'll get gooey cheese juicy chicken and buttery garlic flavors in every bite They totally hit the spot whether you're in a rush for dinner or packing lunch

The first time I cooked these was after a late night out at soccer Realized fast it was exactly what we needed Now the kids beg for lots of garlic butter and honestly we never have leftovers

Delicious Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas: go for soft big ones so you can roll them up easy and get a good crunch Bakery fresh ones work great if you can find them
  • Fresh garlic: packs a strong flavor when you mince it super fine Grab firm bulbs for best taste in the mix
  • Butter: brings a rich crispy outside Use unsalted so you decide how salty
  • Dried parsley: tosses in a little herby color Grab flakes that are bright green not faded
  • Grated Parmesan: gives a nutty salty punch Fresh grated from a block pops the most
  • Shredded cheddar: adds tanginess and a bit of orange color Sharp cheddar will give a bigger punch
  • Shredded mozzarella: creates that stretchy creamy melt Shred your own from a block if you can
  • Cooked chicken breast: loads it with protein and soaks up all that cheese Best if you shred, but rotisserie makes it fast

Awesome Step-By-Step

Serve:
Take wraps off the pan Drop them on a plate Cut 'em up if you want Pass around your favorite dips like ranch or pizza sauce Let everyone dig in
Cook in the Oven:
Place wraps spaced out on a baking sheet with parchment to keep from sticking Heat oven at 375 Brush all over with garlic butter Slide in for 10 to 12 minutes Flip in the middle so both sides get that golden crunch
Cook on the Stove:
Get your skillet hot over medium Paint garlic butter on every wrap all over Pop them seam side down Cook 2-3 minutes until super crispy Flip for another round to brown it all
Make the Garlic Butter:
Drop butter in a bowl Melt it using the microwave in short bursts Mix in your garlic that’s minced super small and toss in parsley Stir so it all looks even and smells awesome
Build the Wraps:
Lay a tortilla on your table Add about half a cup of the cheesy chicken in the middle Squish it in tight Roll bottom to top, folding sides as you go Tuck in ends so nothing leaks Do the rest the same way
Prep the Filling:
Take your shredded chicken, cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan Throw it all in a giant bowl Mix so every bite gets cheesy If you see big clumps, break 'em up Keep mixing till everything looks even

Parmesan is that secret hero here It hits with a salty punch that makes these wraps feel like takeout level good My daughter always dumps in a little extra Parmesan and I gotta say she's right

Smart Storage

Let wraps cool off completely first before you stash them in the fridge Wrap tight in foil or put in a container They’ll stay good up to three days Pop them in a toaster oven or skillet to get that crunch back Freezing works too Just thaw before reheating so they don't turn soggy

Easy Swaps

Try using up leftovers like turkey or tofu if you want a different protein Smoked gouda or pepper jack give new flavor instead of the classic cheese If you want more fiber, grab spinach wraps or whole wheat tortillas and roll with those

How to Serve

These go really well with a crisp salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a cozy meal Cut them into smaller chunks to make easy party bites Don't forget lots of dipping sauces for extra fun

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I use leftover chicken for this dish?

Totally! Rotisserie chicken or last night's cooked chicken brings tons of flavor and makes prepping super quick.

→ What's the best method for crispy wraps?

Frying in a skillet with garlicky butter gets 'em extra crunchy, but baking's great if you want less fuss.

→ Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time?

Sure, build your wraps and keep them in the fridge. Slather on that butter mix and warm 'em just before you eat.

→ What other cheeses could be used in the filling?

Feeling different? Swap in Monterey Jack or provolone to change up the gooeyness and flavor.

→ Are there different sauces that pair well?

Absolutely—dip in garlic aioli, ranch, or even classic marinara for a flavor twist.

Ingredients

→ For the Wraps

01 4 big flour tortillas
02 20 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
03 60 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
04 110 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
05 480 grams chicken breast, cooked and either diced up or pulled apart

→ For the Garlic Butter

06 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
07 2 peeled and minced garlic cloves
08 45 grams melted unsalted butter

Instructions

Step 01

Serve these while they're still warm. Try them with whatever dip you like—think creamy garlic, marinara, or ranch.

Step 02

Heat your oven to 190°C. Use a brush to coat every wrap with the garlic butter. Place each one seam down on parchment over a baking sheet. Flip them halfway through baking. They’ll be crispy and hot in 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 03

Set your skillet or griddle over medium. Paint the outside of each wrap with garlic butter. Lay them seam down and cook until crisp and golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Step 04

Mix the melted butter with garlic and parsley in a small bowl. Give it a quick stir till it looks blended.

Step 05

Lay a tortilla on your counter. Pile about 120 grams of filling right in the middle. Fold the sides in and roll everything up tight, kind of like a big burrito. Do the rest the same way.

Step 06

Toss your chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan together in a big bowl. Mix it up so everything gets spread out and kind of sticks together.

Notes

  1. Roll your wraps snug so the filling won't fall out everywhere during cooking.
  2. Want a bit more kick? Add some chili flakes or black pepper right into the filling.
