  • 500g chicken thighs, boneless and skinless

Instructions

Cook the Chicken

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest.

Make the Garlic Sauce

In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in cream cheese until melted and combined, then add a splash of water to thin if necessary.

Assemble the Wraps

Slice the chicken and place it on a tortilla, top with garlic sauce and shredded cheese. Wrap it tightly and place it seam side down on the skillet.

Toast the Wraps

Toast each wrap in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden, and the cheese is melted.

Cut in half and serve warm!

Tips for Perfect Wraps

To ensure your wraps are absolutely delicious, be sure not to overcook the chicken. It should be golden brown on the outside yet juicy on the inside. Use a meat thermometer to check that it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safety. Additionally, feel free to add some sautéed vegetables, like bell peppers or spinach, for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.

When wrapping your tortillas, start by laying the filling slightly towards the bottom half of the tortilla. Fold the sides in first, then tightly roll from the bottom up. This technique will keep all the fillings securely wrapped inside, preventing spills while toasting. Tucking in the edges can help with this process!

Serving Suggestions

These cheesy garlic chicken wraps can be served with a variety of tasty sides. A fresh garden salad with a zesty vinaigrette pairs beautifully, balancing the richness of the wraps. Alternatively, consider serving them with homemade potato wedges or crispy sweet potato fries for a comforting meal everyone will love.

For dipping, a side of ranch dressing or a spicy sriracha mayo can elevate the flavors even further. You can also offer avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream on the side to add a creamy texture that complements the wraps beautifully. These serving suggestions will ensure your meal is well-rounded and satisfying.
