Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts, diced

• 4 large flour tortillas

Seasonings & Oil

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Cheese & Sauce

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• ½ cup creamy garlic sauce

Garnish

• Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.

2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

3. Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top, followed by the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

4. Fold the tortillas to form wraps. In the same non-stick pan, grill the wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.

5. Remove the wraps from the pan and cut each in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
