For the Cheesy Garlic Sauce:

For Assembling the Wraps:

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Step 2: Make the Cheesy Garlic Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, milk, and fresh parsley.
- Stir until smooth and creamy. Add extra milk if the sauce is too thick for your liking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the cheesy garlic sauce onto each tortilla.
- Place a few slices of chicken on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and add a few leaves of lettuce or spinach if desired.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
Step 4: Toast the Wraps
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
- Place the wraps seam-side down and toast for 2-3 minutes per side until the outside is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted inside.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
- Slice the wraps in half, and serve hot.
- Pair with dipping sauces such as ranch, barbecue, or salsa.
