1 teaspoon dried oregano

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove from the skillet and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in garlic powder and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Lay out the tortillas and divide the sliced chicken evenly between them.
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the edges as you go.
Place the wraps on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the wraps are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
