Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack for a milder flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 4 large tortillas or wraps (your favorite kind: whole wheat, flour, spinach)
Optional toppings
  • chopped fresh parsley
  • red pepper flakes
  • squeeze of lemon juice

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

  1. Begin by patting your chicken pieces dry with paper towels. This helps them to brown nicely. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt and pepper until evenly coated.
    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet (no need to wipe it clean, the chicken drippings add flavor!). Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Stir in the dried Italian seasoning and cook for another 30 seconds to release its aromas.

  4. Add the softened cream cheese and milk to the skillet with the garlic and seasonings. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts and forms a smooth sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add another tablespoon of milk.
    2 tablespoons cream cheese, 2 tablespoons milk
  5. Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet with the cheesy garlic sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Sprinkle both the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the top of the chicken mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.

  6. Warm your tortillas slightly according to package directions. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear. Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add any of your favorite optional toppings like fresh parsley, a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or a bright squeeze of lemon juice.

  7. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to create your Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. Serve immediately and savor every delicious bite!
