Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4-5 fresh garlic cloves, minced finely
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat chicken pieces dry and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through
- Create the Garlic Sauce: Push chicken to one side, reduce heat to low. Add butter and minced garlic to empty side, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant
- Combine: Toss chicken in garlic butter sauce until coated. Remove from heat
- Assemble the Wraps: Place tortilla flat, spoon quarter of chicken mixture onto lower third, sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese
- Fold and Roll: Fold sides inward, then tightly roll from bottom to enclose filling
- Optional Crispy Step: Heat clean skillet over medium heat. Cook wrap seam-side down for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese melted
Notes
Don't overcrowd skillet when cooking chicken for better sear
Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent tearing
Let chicken rest before slicing to retain juices
For crispy exterior, don't skip the final toasting step
Can use pre-cooked chicken for faster preparation
Gluten-free option: use gluten-free tortillas
Freezer-friendly: wrap uncooked wraps tightly and freeze for up to 2 months
