Ingredients
- Chicken Wraps – 2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- Garlic – 4 cloves, minced
- Cheese – 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice)
- Flour Tortillas – 4 large
- Butter – 2 tablespoons, melted
- Italian Seasoning – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – to taste
- Pepper – to taste
Instructions
Begin by taking your chicken breasts and ensuring they are thawed, if previously frozen. Use a sharp knife to trim off any excess fat or gristle. This will help achieve a tender bite later on. For an extra juicy experience, consider marinating the chicken briefly in a mix of olive oil, salt, and pepper while you prep your other ingredients.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Listen closely as they sizzle! Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are a golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Don’t rush this step; allowing the chicken to brown nicely will add incredible flavor.
While the chicken cooks, let’s create that delicious garlic flavor. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic. The aroma will start evoking excitement as you whisk it together. Add a pinch of salt and freshly chopped herbs if you’d like for a fresh touch. This mixture will be the secret that brings everything together!
Once your chicken has cooked, remove it from the skillet and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Lay your tortillas flat and spread a generous amount of the garlic butter on each. Sprinkle on shredded cheese, and then top with the chopped chicken. Feel free to add any extras you love, like diced tomatoes or fresh spinach leaves. Wrap them tightly, ensuring the filling stays secure.
Return to the skillet and place the wraps seam-side down. Cook each wrap for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortillas are crispy and golden, and the cheese has melted beautifully. Keep a close eye on them, as this stage brings everything to life with warmth and richness!
Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for just a minute. Then slice them in half to reveal the melty goodness inside. Serve warm and watch everyone gather around to enjoy these tasty treats. Perhaps pair with a dipping sauce for an extra touch!
Notes
Experiment with Spices
Feel free to spice up your garlic butter with your favorite seasonings. A touch of paprika or crushed red pepper can add a delightful kick!
Storing Leftovers
If you have any wraps left over, wrap them tightly in foil or place them in an airtight container. They can be enjoyed the following day, heated up in the oven or on a skillet for recapturing the crispy texture.
