This easy preparation process means you can whip these up in just about 30 minutes, making them a weeknight hero.

What you’ll need

To create these delicious wraps, gather the following ingredients:

Best Way to Serve

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are fantastic served warm right off the skillet, but let’s take it up a notch with some creative ideas! Consider serving them alongside a zesty salad or some sizzling roasted veggies. You could also include dipping sauces, like ranch or buffalo sauce, for that extra zing. For a complete game-day experience, add some crispy potato wedges to the platter.

Storage Tips

If you happen to have leftovers (which isn’t likely), you can store these wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a minute or two or place them in a skillet to crisp them up again. If you wish to make ahead, these wraps can be frozen before cooking; just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag.

Pro Chef Tips

For optimal flavor and texture, use a mix of cheeses! Parmesan or pepper jack brings an exciting twist while ensuring gooey stretches with every bite. Also, don’t shy away from adding veggies—spinach or roasted red peppers can add both nutrition and flavor. And if you’ve got fresh herbs on hand, sprinkle some chopped parsley or cilantro before rolling for a fresh touch.

Creative twists

Want to make this recipe your own? Experiment with different aioli flavors, like sriracha or basil. You could also leverage leftover proteins—pulled pork or turkey would work wonderfully. For a lighter version, swap out the tortillas for lettuce wraps, making it a fresh and low-carb meal that still delivers on flavor.
