kcalCheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or sour cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 large flour tortillas or wraps
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise or sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until everything is well blended.
- Lay out the flour tortillas. Spoon an even amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly like a burrito.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat, slice in half if desired, and serve warm. Optional: Serve with a dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli.

Serving Suggestions
Pair your cheesy garlic chicken wraps with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or a bowl of tomato soup for a complete meal. You can also serve them with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy sriracha mayo for an extra layer of flavor. For a heartier side, try baked sweet potato fries or seasoned potato wedges.
Savings Suggestions
To keep this recipe budget-friendly:
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken or meal-prepped chicken breast.
- Buy cheese in bulk and shred it yourself to save on cost.
- Substitute tortillas with flatbreads or whatever wraps you already have at home.
- Skip the cream cheese if you’re out—it’s delicious with or without it.
Making
a double batch and freezing the wraps (before cooking) can also save time and money later in the week.FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the wraps and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Cook when ready to serve.
Absolutely. Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and freeze uncooked wraps for up to 2 months. Thaw before toasting.
Are these wraps spicy?
No, they’re mild. But you can add red pepper flakes, jalapeños, or spicy sauce if you want some heat.
Can I make this recipe healthier?
Yes! Use low-fat cheese, Greek yogurt instead of mayo, and whole wheat wraps. You can also load them with extra veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes.
Shredded rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken breast, or even leftover roast chicken all work great for this recipe.
