Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or low-carb if preferred)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Season the Chicken
Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Make sure both sides are well-coated for maximum flavor.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove from heat and set aside to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in the red pepper flakes and parsley, then cook for an additional 30 seconds. This garlic butter sauce will be the magic that pulls everything together.
Step 4: Build the Wraps
Lay your tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the sliced chicken across each tortilla, then pour a generous amount of the garlic butter sauce over the chicken. Top with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Wrap and Grill
Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to encase the chicken and cheese. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Grill each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once grilled, remove the wraps from the pan and slice them into halves or quarters. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with a side of fresh veggies like cucumber salad or roasted broccoli for a lighter meal.
Pair with French fries or chips if you’re feeling indulgent.
A side of sour cream or guacamole for dipping makes this even more flavorful.
