Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (from a block)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas or chapatis
  • Optional for serving: chopped fresh parsley, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Season chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in a single layer for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in milk and chicken broth until smooth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheeses until melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat in the cheesy garlic sauce. Warm through for 1 minute.
  8. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon chicken mixture onto each tortilla, add optional toppings, fold sides, and roll up tightly.

Notes

For best results, grate cheese from a block for a smoother sauce. Do not add cheese while sauce is boiling. Leftover filling stores well for 3-4 days.
