I discovered the magic of these wraps on a hectic Tuesday evening when my fridge held little more than a pack of chicken breasts and a block of cheese. Desperate for something quick, comforting, and delicious, I threw them together with a generous dose of garlic. The moment that garlic hit the warm skillet, my entire kitchen filled with the most incredible, savory aroma. By the time I took my first bite of the melty, flavorful wrap, I was in pure weeknight dinner heaven. It was one of those happy accidents that instantly became a family favorite, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into small, bite-sized pieces
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size works best)
- 60g sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 20g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4-5 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish, optional but recommended)
Let’s talk about these ingredients for a second, because a few small choices here make a world of difference. I insist on freshly grating your Parmesan from a block—the pre-grated stuff often contains anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting as smoothly. For the chicken, cutting it into small, uniform pieces is key; it cooks faster and ensures every nook gets coated in that glorious garlic butter. And please, don’t be shy with the garlic. This is a garlic chicken wrap, after all. That aromatic punch is what makes the whole dish sing.(See the next page below to continue…)
