🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.

3. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
4. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2: Make the Cheesy Garlic Sauce

1. Lower heat slightly and pour in the heavy cream.
2. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
3. If using, add a spoonful of cream cheese for extra richness.
4. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until creamy and thickened.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
