Cheesy garlic chicken wraps are the ultimate cozy food you can throw together in no time. You get buttery garlic, soft chicken, and loads of gooey cheese, so they’re totally crave-worthy. Great for chill lunches or those nights when you just want something easy.
The first time I made these was after my kid’s soccer game when everyone was starving. Now my family always wants a little extra garlic butter drizzled over the top, and honestly, there’s never anything left to save for later.
Tasty Ingredients
- Dried parsley: tosses in a hint of herby color — make sure your parsley flakes look fresh and green, not faded.
- Fresh garlic: gives a punch of garlicky flavor — mince it super fine and pick firm bulbs for awesome taste.
- Butter: makes everything rich and helps crisp outside — unsalted means you can season the way you like.
- Flour tortillas: go for big, soft rounds so you can wrap everything up snug. If you find fresh tortillas in the bakery, they’re best!
- Grated Parmesan: add for that salty, rich savoriness — fresh grated is the way to go if you can.
- Shredded cheddar: sharp cheddar pops with flavor and a little color.
- Shredded mozzarella: go for blocks you shred yourself for the stretchiest melt.
- Cooked chicken breast: shredded up so each bite is juicy and cheesy. Rotisserie chicken works if you’re in a hurry.
Simple Step-by-Step
- Serve:
- When they're done, move your wraps to a platter. Slice if you want. Dive in with ranch, marinara, or any dip you like.
- Cook the Wraps Oven Method:
- Fire up your oven to 375. Lay down parchment on your baking tray. Brush each wrap well with garlic butter and space them out. Bake around ten to twelve minutes, flipping halfway for that perfect crunch.
- Cook the Wraps Stovetop Method:
- Get your skillet hot over medium. Brush every inch of the wraps with garlic butter. Put the seam side down first, cook about two to three minutes until golden and crispy. Flip to get every side a nice golden brown.
- Make the Garlic Butter:
- Melt your butter in a small bowl, giving it short bursts in the microwave if needed. Stir through minced garlic and parsley so everything’s evenly mixed.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Spread out a tortilla, scoop on half a cup of filling in the center. Keep it packed tight, fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up. Keep tucking as you roll. Finish the rest of the wraps the same way so nothing leaks.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a big bowl, toss together the chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan. Make sure the cheese gets all over every bit of chicken and break up any chunks so it’s all blended evenly.

I always sneak in extra Parmesan because that nutty, salty kick just makes everything better. My kids figured it out, and now they try to pile in as much as they can too. Can’t blame them—it’s a game changer.
How to Store
Let everything cool before tucking your wraps away. Wrap them up tight in foil or a sealed box in the fridge for up to three days. For best crunch, reheat them in a pan or toaster oven. You can freeze them, too, just thaw before you heat so they stay nice and crisp.
Swap Outs
You can use cooked turkey, leftovers, or go meat-free with tofu. Mix it up with smoked gouda or pepper jack for a new flavor, or choose whole wheat or spinach tortillas for more fiber and color.
What to Serve With
Pair these up with your favorite soup or a fresh green salad—major comfort. You can slice the wraps smaller to make fun party bites. Don’t forget a bunch of dips for dunking.
