Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
Cheese:
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Wrap:
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Warm a skillet to medium temperature, drizzle with olive oil to coat the surface evenly.
- Generously season chicken breasts with a blend of garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
- Cook chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes per side, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F and meat appears golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board, allow to rest for 3-4 minutes, then slice into thin, uniform strips.
- Using the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until aromatic and lightly golden, releasing its intense flavor.
- Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped fresh parsley, and a splash of lemon juice to create a creamy, tangy garlic sauce.
- Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface, sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Arrange sliced chicken strips across the cheese-covered tortillas.
- Drizzle the prepared garlic sauce generously over the chicken strips.
- Carefully fold the tortillas into compact wraps, creating sealed edges.
- Place wraps on a preheated griddle or skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until exterior becomes crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts of uniform thickness for even cooking and tender results.
- Create a flavor boost by marinating chicken in garlic powder mixture for 30 minutes before cooking to enhance taste depth.
- Adjust garlic sauce consistency by adding more or less mayonnaise for lighter or richer texture.
- Replace regular tortillas with low-carb wraps or lettuce leaves for gluten-free and keto-friendly version.
