- Make Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until browned and cooked through to 165°F.

- Grill Wraps: Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is beautifully melted.
- Serve Wraps: Remove the perfectly grilled Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps from the skillet. Slice them in half if desired and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy this satisfying family meal!
