👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Season the Chicken
In a bowl, combine diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Wraps
Lay the tortillas flat. Spread a generous spoonful of creamy garlic sauce over each one. Add a layer of cooked chicken, then sprinkle evenly with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
4. Fold and Grill
Fold each tortilla over the filling into a wrap. Wipe out your skillet and return to medium heat. Grill each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
5. Slice & Serve
Remove from pan, cut each wrap in half, and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot and cheesy!
