Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
1️⃣ Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

4️⃣ Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5️⃣ Remove from the pan, let cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!
What to Serve with These Wraps
These wraps are fantastic on their own, but here are some great sides to make it a complete meal:
🥗 Side Salad – A crisp Caesar or garden salad pairs perfectly.
🍟 Fries or Sweet Potato Wedges – Because who doesn’t love a crispy side?
🥣 Soup – Try a bowl of creamy tomato or chicken soup.
🥒 Pickles or Coleslaw – A little tangy crunch complements the cheesy filling.
Tips for the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
✔️ Use fresh garlic for the best flavor—powder won’t give the same punch!
✔️ Don’t overfill the wrap or it’ll be hard to flip and may spill out.
✔️ Cook on medium heat so the cheese melts fully without burning the tortilla.
✔️ Let them rest for a minute before slicing—this helps the cheese set and prevents a messy spill.
How to Store & Reheat
🛑 Storing: Wrap leftovers in foil or an airtight container. They stay fresh in the fridge for 2-3 days.
🔥 Reheating: Heat in a skillet for 2 minutes per side or microwave for 30 seconds, flipping halfway.
❄️ Freezing: You can freeze un-toasted wraps in a sealed bag for up to a month. Just thaw and toast when ready to eat!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
🔹 Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the wraps and store them in the fridge, then toast them fresh when you’re ready to eat.
🔹 Can I bake them instead of frying?
Absolutely! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
🔹 What’s the best cheese to use?
A mix of cheddar and mozzarella gives the best melt and flavor, but feel free to experiment!
