Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Season sliced chicken breast with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and the Mediterranean herb blend. Sauté the chicken strips for about 6-7 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and toss in 1 chopped sweet onion and 1 diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent. Stir in a handful of fresh spinach leaves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and combine with the cooked chicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar, and 4 ounces of cream cheese. Add 1/4 cup of sour cream and chives, mixing well until the cheeses are creamy and fully blended.
Warm large flour tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them pliable. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter with 1 teaspoon of roasted garlic powder. Brush this garlic-infused butter mixture on one side of each tortilla.
On the unbuttered side of each tortilla, layer about 1/3 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture, followed by a generous scoop of the cheese blend. Carefully roll the tortillas tightly.
In the same skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Place the assembled wraps seam-side down into the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Gently flip and toast the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
