Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 6-8 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4-6 large burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the butter and garlic, whisking to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce. Simmer together for 2 minutes.
  8. Spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  9. Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
  10. Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden, crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
  11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Notes

For a shortcut, use 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Do not skip the final pan-toasting step for a crisp exterior and fully melted cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
