Ingredients

Scale

Chicken & Sauce

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp dried Italian herbs
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Wraps & Toppings

6–8 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
Optional toppings: chopped tomatoes
Optional toppings: shredded lettuce
Optional toppings: sour cream
Optional toppings: guacamole

Instructions

Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking.
Heat the Oil and Sauté Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, making sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Deglaze Skillet: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the skillet bottom to add flavor to the sauce.
Add Cream and Seasonings: Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes (if using), and dried Italian herbs.
Simmer Sauce: Season with salt and pepper, then let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
Warm Tortillas: Heat tortillas according to package instructions to make them pliable for rolling.
Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon a generous amount of cheesy garlic chicken onto the center, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and add any optional toppings you prefer like tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, or guacamole.
Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, roll it tightly, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

You can use any type of large flour or whole wheat tortillas depending on your preference.
Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice tolerance or omit them for a milder taste.
Feel free to customize your wraps with additional toppings such as avocado slices or hot sauce.
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream and reduce the cheese quantity.
Make sure the chicken is cooked through to avoid any food safety issues—use a meat thermometer if possible.
