Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembly:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach or shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
Optional Add-Ins:
- Sliced avocado
- Crispy bacon bits
- Sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken strips with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Whisk in the flour to form a roux, cooking for 1 minute.
- Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the creamy garlic sauce over the center.
- Add a portion of the cooked chicken strips on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the chicken.
- Add a handful of baby spinach or shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and any optional toppings like avocado or bacon.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a wrap.
Step 4: Warm the Wraps (Optional)
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve warm. Pair with a side of chips, a salad, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
