Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasonings
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Garlic
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Cheese and Tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Cooking Fats
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest and Sauté Garlic: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Using the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Shred Chicken and Season: Shred the rested chicken breasts, then toss the shredded chicken with Italian seasoning and the sautéed garlic for extra flavor.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the large flour tortillas, distribute the shredded chicken evenly among them, then add a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap form.
- Bake: Place the wraps seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the wraps are heated through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor; roasted garlic can be a delicious alternative.
- Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a blend for different cheesy textures.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when seasoning the chicken.
- These wraps can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking for a quick meal.
- Serve with a side salad or homemade salsa for a complete meal.
