Description
How to make creamy cheesy garlic chicken wraps with tender chicken and savory sauce that are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- Base/Main Components:
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
- Flavor Builders:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup milk (any kind)
- Seasonings/Spices:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Finishing/Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- 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!
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before adding to skillet to achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.
Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days for best quality.
Chicken breasts can be swapped for chicken thighs for richness, or ground chicken for quicker cooking.
Serve warm wraps with a crisp green salad or vibrant coleslaw to complement the creamy filling.
Prep the creamy chicken filling 2-3 days ahead; store separately and assemble wraps just before serving.
