Directions

In a bowl, mix the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
Lay the tortillas flat and spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each one. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly across the tortillas.
Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Fold each tortilla over the filling to form wraps.
Using the same pan, grill the wraps for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp with melted cheese inside.
Slice in half, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Storage/Reheating

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
