Ingredients

For the Wraps

4 large flour tortillas
500g chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Make sure to have all ingredients prepped before starting to cook for the best results!

Instructions

Cook the Chicken

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.

Prepare the Sauce

In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Assemble the Wraps

On each tortilla, layer the sliced chicken and pour the garlic cheese sauce over it. Sprinkle with additional cheese if desired. Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.

Grill the Wraps

Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and your favorite dipping sauce.

Storage Tips

If you have leftover wraps, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to three days, making them great for meal prep. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, or use a microwave for a quicker option, but be mindful that this may soften the tortilla.

For longer storage, these wraps can also be frozen before grilling. Wrap each assembled but ungrilled wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply thaw and grill until crispy and heated through.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your dining experience, serve these wraps with sides like a fresh garden salad or crispy potato wedges. A light and tangy dipping sauce, such as a ranch or garlic aioli, can also complement the cheesy flavors beautifully, adding another layer of taste to your meal.

For a complete feast, pair the wraps with a refreshing beverage like iced tea or lemonade. The sweetness and acidity will balance the richness of the wraps, making for a well-rounded and satisfying meal.
