Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps – Creamy

• 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts: The star protein, ensuring a satisfying and hearty filling for your delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. Slice thinly for quick cooking.
• 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch): These are the essential foundation for wrapping up all that creamy, cheesy goodness. Choose soft, pliable tortillas for easy rolling.
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened: This is crucial for achieving the “creamy delight” in your sauce, adding richness and body. Allow it to soften at room temperature for easy blending.
• 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese: The primary “cheesy” element, melting beautifully into the sauce for that irresistible flavor. Shred your own for better melting and flavor.
• ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth: Provides the necessary liquid to create a smooth, savory sauce that coats the chicken perfectly. Opt for low-sodium to control overall saltiness.
• 2 cups fresh spinach, packed: Adds a touch of freshness, color, and nutrients to the creamy chicken filling. Wilt it slightly for easy incorporation into the wraps.
• 4 cloves garlic, minced: The absolute essential “garlic” flavor that makes these wraps so incredibly aromatic and delicious. Freshly mince your garlic for the best taste.
• ½ yellow onion, diced: A foundational aromatic that adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the savory chicken filling. Dice finely so it blends seamlessly into the sauce.
• 2 tablespoons olive oil: Used for sautéing the chicken and aromatics, helping to build layers of flavor in the pan. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
• ¼ cup milk (any kind): Helps to thin the sauce slightly and enhance the overall creaminess without making it too heavy. Whole milk adds extra richness if preferred.
• 1 teaspoon salt: Essential for seasoning the chicken and bringing out all the wonderful flavors in the creamy sauce. Adjust to your personal taste preference.
• ½ teaspoon black pepper: Provides a subtle warmth and balances the richness of the cheese and cream. Freshly ground black pepper offers superior flavor.
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning: Adds a classic aromatic herb blend that complements the garlic and chicken beautifully. A simple way to boost the overall flavor.
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped: A bright, fresh garnish that adds a pop of color and herbaceous note to the finished wraps. Chop just before serving for maximum freshness.

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps – Creamy

Cook Chicken:

Dice onion and mince garlic. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion until softened, then add garlic for 30 seconds. Add chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and cooked through.

Make Sauce:

Reduce heat to low. Add softened cream cheese, chicken broth, and milk to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the mixture starts to emulsify into a smooth sauce. This forms the delicious creamy base.

Fold Spinach:

Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it’s fully melted and incorporated, creating that gooey texture. Stir in the fresh spinach until it just wilts down into the creamy chicken mixture. This completes your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps filling.

Warm Tortillas:

Lightly warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds each. This makes them pliable and easier to roll without tearing. Keep them covered to retain warmth and flexibility for your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.

Assemble Wraps:

Spoon a generous amount of the creamy cheesy garlic chicken filling onto the center of each warm tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to create secure Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. Repeat for all tortillas.

Garnish & Serve:

Arrange your delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps on a platter. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting, creamy delight!
