Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps: 5-Min Easy Snack

  • Author: abigail_patterson
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A quick and comforting recipe for cheesy garlic chicken wraps that combines tender chicken, rich garlic butter, and melted cheese in a warm tortilla. Perfect for busy weeknights or late-night snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to ½-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt until foaming.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  4. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. While chicken rests, warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds.
  7. Shred the rested chicken into strips or cubes.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet with remaining garlic butter. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted.
  9. Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of sour cream or yogurt.
  10. Add the cheesy chicken mixture and top with chopped green onions.
  11. Roll tightly from the bottom up, cut in half diagonally, and serve immediately.

Notes

Pound the chicken evenly for quick cooking. Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure proper searing. Watch garlic closely as it burns easily. Warm tortillas to prevent tearing. For a low-carb option, use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
