Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or cheddar blend for extra flavor)
- ¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 4 large tortillas or wraps (flour, whole wheat, or chapati-style)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1. Make the Cheesy Garlic Filling : In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken, mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined. The mixture should be creamy and evenly coated.
- 2. Assemble the Wraps : Lay each tortilla flat. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the center, then fold the sides and roll tightly to form a wrap.
- 3. Toast to Perfection : Brush each wrap lightly with melted butter. Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and cook each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, with melted cheese inside.
- 4. Serve and Enjoy : Slice in half and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli.

Healthier or Dietary Alternatives
For a lighter chicken wrap recipe, use low-fat cheese and whole-wheat tortillas. Swap cream cheese for Greek yogurt for added protein and a tangy twist. You can also load up on veggies, add spinach, roasted peppers, or mushrooms inside the wrap for a nutrient boost.
If you’re watching carbs, make it lettuce-wrap style or use low-carb tortillas. For a dairy-free option, use vegan cheese and dairy-free cream cheese without losing that creamy, garlic flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a fresh side salad or roasted veggies.
- Serve with sweet potato fries or a bowl of tomato soup.
- Cut into halves or quarters for party appetizers or meal prep lunches.
