These mouthwatering wraps combine tender, seasoned chicken with a velvety cheese sauce, all wrapped in soft tortillas and baked to perfection. A comforting meal that is both indulgent and easy to prepare!
🍗 Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)
4 large tortillas
For the Creamy Cheese Sauce:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
🧀 Directions:
Cook the Chicken:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the diced chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Creamy Cheese Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
Stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Wraps:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the tortillas flat and divide the cooked chicken evenly among them. Roll up each tortilla tightly, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
Pour the creamy cheese sauce generously over the top of the wraps.
Bake the Wraps:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and garnish with additional shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
Serve:
Allow the wraps to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these cheesy, creamy wraps with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.
