#### **1. Cook the Chicken**
Start by preparing the chicken. If the chicken breasts are thick, you can butterfly them or slice them in half horizontally to ensure they cook evenly.
– Heat **olive oil** in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with **salt**, **pepper**, **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, **paprika**, and **dried thyme** (if using).
– Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about **6-7 minutes per side**, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
#### **2. Prepare the Garlic Sauce**
While the chicken is cooking, you can make the garlic sauce.
– In the same skillet, melt **butter** over medium heat. Add the **minced garlic** and sauté for about **1 minute**, or until fragrant.
– Pour in the **heavy cream** and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the **grated Parmesan cheese** and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about **2-3 minutes**. Season with **salt** and **pepper** to taste. Set aside.
#### **3. Slice the Chicken**
Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference. This will make it easier to wrap and ensure every bite has plenty of delicious chicken.
#### **4. Assemble the Wraps**
Now it’s time to assemble the wraps!
– Warm the **flour tortillas** in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
– Lay a tortilla flat and place a few slices of chicken in the center.
– Drizzle some of the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with both **mozzarella** and **Parmesan cheese**. The cheese will melt perfectly and add a delightful gooey texture.
– Optionally, add a handful of **fresh spinach leaves** or **lettuce** for some extra crunch, and a few **slices of tomato** for freshness.
#### **5. Roll and Serve**
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly, ensuring all the ingredients are tucked inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
### **Why These Wraps Are So Delicious**
The combination of **garlic butter sauce** and **melted cheese** creates a rich and savory base for the chicken, while the crispy edges of the tortilla provide the perfect contrast in texture. The **Parmesan cheese** adds a nutty, salty depth, while the **mozzarella** offers a stretchy, gooey finish that makes every bite so satisfying. Plus, the **fresh spinach or lettuce** balances the richness of the wrap, adding a refreshing crunch.

### **Tips for the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps**
1. **Make It Spicy**: If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of **red pepper flakes** to the garlic sauce or sprinkle some on top before rolling the wraps.
2. **Use Different Cheeses**: Experiment with different cheese combinations—**cheddar**, **pepper jack**, or **provolone** work wonderfully in place of mozzarella.
3. **Add Veggies**: To boost the nutritional value, consider adding sautéed vegetables like **bell peppers**, **onions**, or **zucchini** for extra flavor and color.
4. **Grill the Wraps**: For a crispy, grilled finish, place the assembled wraps in a skillet over medium heat and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
5. **Meal Prep**: These wraps are great for meal prepping! Assemble the wraps in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month—just be sure to wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
