Ingredients List
Cheesy Garlic Chicken
Here’s everything you’ll need to bring these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps to life. Think of it as your customizable toolkit for flavor and satisfaction.
2 large chicken breasts (boneless & skinless, thinly sliced) – or swap with chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
2 tbsp olive oil – can substitute with avocado oil.
1 tbsp minced garlic (about 3 cloves) – fresh is best, but jarred works in a pinch.
1 tsp garlic powder – boosts the flavor depth.
1 tsp smoked paprika – adds a warm, smoky kick.
Salt & black pepper – to taste.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – or a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for stretch + flavor.
½ cup cream cheese – creates a creamy base.
1 tbsp chopped parsley or cilantro – for freshness.
4 large tortillas or flatbreads – whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free versions also work.
Optional fillings: baby spinach, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, or avocado slices for a nutrition boost.
💡 Pro tip: Swap out chicken for turkey or even roasted veggies if you’re making a vegetarian twist.
