2. Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Cooking spray
3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Preparation of the Chicken
Preheat your oven or grill to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and rub the spices evenly over the chicken.
Cooking the Chicken
Cook the seasoned chicken breasts until fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side on a grill or bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Assembling the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Evenly distribute the sliced chicken across the tortilla, then sprinkle generously with cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Add a little chopped parsley for extra freshness if desired.
Wrapping and Melting the Cheese
Roll up the tortilla tightly around the filling. You can secure it with toothpicks or fold the ends neatly. To melt the cheese, you have options: place the wraps on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese melts, or use a Ninja Foodi Smart XL Indoor Grill & Air Fryer Combo for a quick crisp, or even air fry for a perfect gooey finish.
4. Storage Tips for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) wrapped in foil for about 10 minutes. For a crispy wrap, reheat in a hot air fryer or grill. These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but proper storage keeps them delicious for later.
5. Serving Suggestions for Chicken Wraps
Serve your Garlic Chicken Wraps with a side of fresh salad, some crunchy chips, or a hearty bowl of French Onion Soup Pizza to complement the savory flavors. You can also drizzle with hot sauce or a creamy dip for added flair.
6. Tips and Variations
- For a healthier twist, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
- Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra crunch and flavor.
- Replace chicken with turkey or even seasoned tofu for vegetarian options.
- Use a Compact 6-in-1 Digital Air Fryer to achieve crispy results with less oil.
7. Frequently Asked Questions about Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the wraps and store them in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or air fryer just before serving to keep the cheese melty and the wrap crispy.
What are good substitutions for the ingredients?
Instead of cheddar and mozzarella, you can try pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese. For gluten-free options, use gluten-free tortillas.
