Why Make These Easy Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps?

How to Cook Chicken Perfectly Every Time
For flavorful and moist chicken, use boneless breasts or thighs, diced or shredded. Sauté with fresh garlic and a pinch of seasoning, or air fry for extra convenience and crispness. Utilizing an air fryer like the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 ensures the chicken is evenly cooked and remains juicy inside. For large batches, prepping your chicken ahead and shredding it quickly with a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist can be a major time-saver.
Assembly and Shortcut Tips
Once your chicken is ready, assembly is a breeze. Layer shredded chicken, a generous amount of cheese, and your favorite fresh vegetables (like bell peppers or spinach) on each tortilla. Chopping veggies is effortless and consistent using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1 Vegetable Chopper for uniform results.
To melt the cheese and achieve that irresistible, golden crust, a high-quality nonstick skillet such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan is invaluable. Simply grill the wraps on each side for a couple of minutes until crispy and gooey.
Serving Suggestions and Customizations
Serve the wraps with a quick side salad, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream. These wraps travel well, too—pack them for lunch in a Bentgo Salad Container for a fresh, on-the-go meal. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for parties, and you can swap in different cheeses or veggies to suit your taste and what’s on hand.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick skillet or SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cooked chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir for 2–3 minutes to heat through and blend flavors. If starting with raw chicken, cook thoroughly, using a meat thermometer to confirm it reaches 165°F internally.
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture, cheese, and optional veggies among the tortillas.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly. Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet; cook for 1–2 minutes per side until tortillas are golden and cheese is completely melted. For hands-free cooking, use a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, air frying at 380°F for about 5 minutes, flipping once.
- Slice wraps in half, garnish with fresh herbs or hot sauce if desired, and serve warm. For mess-free assembly, use a disposable table cloth to make cleanup a breeze after your speedy dinner prep!
