Best Way to Serve

Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps are delicious on their own, but a few sides can elevate the dining experience even further! Consider serving them with a fresh garden salad, seasoned fries, or even some zesty coleslaw. For a creamy dip option, a side of ranch dressing or extra creamy garlic sauce could complement these wraps beautifully.

Storage Tips

To keep your wraps fresh, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you’re looking to prep ahead, you can assemble the wraps and freeze them before grilling. When ready to eat, simply thaw overnight in the fridge, then grill according to instructions. Always reheat thoroughly to ensure food safety!

Pro Chef Tips

  1. Marinate the chicken for an hour or two before cooking to deepen the flavor.
  2. Experiment with different types of cheese—pepper jack can add a nice kick!
  3. If you prefer a crispier wrap, pop them under the broiler for a minute after grilling.

Recipe Variations

Feel free to play around with this basic recipe! You can add sautéed bell peppers for extra color and flavor, use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option, or swap the creamy garlic sauce for a barbecue sauce for a smoky twist. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with black beans and add some corn.
