Description
These wraps feature tender pieces of chicken in a creamy Parmesan sauce, wrapped in warm tortillas with fresh toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (about 680 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (about 25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 6 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat) — or 8 medium
- 2 cups (about 225 g) shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant—be careful not to burn it.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, then stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes (if using), and Italian herbs.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken onto the center of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Add any optional toppings you like (tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole).
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly.
- Cut the wraps in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and reduce the shredded cheese by 1/3.
