Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil, then cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Sauté the Garlic: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté it until fragrant, about 1 minute, to infuse rich garlic flavor.
- Shred and Season Chicken: Shred the rested chicken and toss it with the Italian seasoning to evenly distribute the herbs.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly divide the shredded chicken among them. Top each with generous heaps of shredded cheddar cheese, then roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling.
- Bake the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Bake them for 10-15 minutes until they are heated through and the cheese has melted, creating a gooey, cheesy filling.
Notes
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free if desired.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or basil to the chicken mixture.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- If you prefer spicier wraps, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce before rolling.
