Ingredients
Scale
- Main Components:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- Flavor Builders:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- Seasonings & Spices:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Finishing & Garnish:
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
- Prep Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove, shred, and set aside. This is the hearty base for your delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic for one minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn. This builds the foundational flavor for the sauce.
- Build Sauce: Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits to deglaze the pan. Add softened cream cheese and milk, whisking vigorously until smooth and creamy. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, creating a luxurious sauce.
- Combine Filling: Return the shredded chicken to the skillet with the creamy garlic sauce. Stir well to coat all the chicken evenly, then season with salt and black pepper. Keep warm over low heat for the best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps experience.
- Assemble Wraps: Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon the chicken mixture generously onto each tortilla, then sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly to create your satisfying Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.
- Garnish & Serve: Arrange your freshly assembled Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps on a platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes for a vibrant finish. Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting family favorite!
