For the Creamy Cheese Sauce

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Step 1: Season the Chicken
In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (do not let it burn).
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Add the cream cheese and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
Lower the heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Cook gently, stirring constantly, until the cheeses melt and the sauce becomes thick and velvety.
Step 5: Combine Chicken & Sauce
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Stir until all the chicken pieces are fully coated in the cheesy garlic sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors combine.
Step 6: Assemble the Wraps
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave.
Spoon a generous amount of cheesy garlic chicken filling onto each tortilla.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
Step 7: Wrap & Serve
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly into wraps.
Serve warm and enjoy!
