### **Step-by-Step Instructions:**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Chicken**
Start by prepping the chicken. If you’re using chicken breasts, slice them horizontally into thinner cutlets for quicker cooking. This also makes them more tender and easier to wrap. If you prefer, you can also chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Season the chicken with **salt, pepper**, and **Italian seasoning** (if using).
#### **Step 2: Cook the Chicken**
In a large skillet, heat **2 tablespoons of olive oil** over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and cook for about **5-7 minutes per side**, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach **165°F (74°C)**.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pan and set it aside to rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
#### **Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce**
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the **minced garlic**. Sauté the garlic for about **1-2 minutes**, or until fragrant and golden. Be careful not to burn it!
Next, add **a tablespoon of butter** or a splash of olive oil for extra richness. Stir it all together to form a simple garlic butter sauce that will coat the chicken perfectly.
#### **Step 4: Assemble the Wraps**
Now that you’ve prepared the chicken and the garlic butter sauce, it’s time to assemble the wraps!
Lay your **flour tortillas** flat on a clean surface. If you like, warm the tortillas slightly in the skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.
Place a generous amount of the cooked chicken in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle some of the **garlic butter sauce** over the chicken, and top with a generous handful of shredded **mozzarella cheese** and a sprinkle of **Parmesan cheese**.
#### **Step 5: Grill the Wraps**
To finish the wraps, fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly to seal the chicken and cheese inside.
Return the skillet to medium heat and lightly butter the surface. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for **2-3 minutes per side**, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. This step helps create a crispy, golden exterior while ensuring the cheese becomes perfectly gooey and delicious.
#### **Step 6: Serve and Enjoy**
Once your wraps are grilled to perfection, remove them from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Slice the wraps in half at a diagonal and garnish with **fresh parsley** for a burst of color and extra freshness.
Serve your **Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps** with a side of **sour cream**, **ranch dressing**, or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal.
### **Tips and Variations:**
– **Add Vegetables**: For extra nutrition and flavor, add sautéed vegetables such as **spinach**, **onions**, **bell peppers**, or **mushrooms** to the chicken filling.
– **Spicy Twist**: If you like a little heat, sprinkle in some **red pepper flakes**, **jalapeño slices**, or a drizzle of **hot sauce** inside the wraps.
– **Cheese Options**: While mozzarella is a classic choice, you can experiment with other cheeses like **cheddar**, **pepper jack**, or **provolone** for a different flavor profile.
– **Grill It**: If you have a grill or grill pan, consider grilling the wraps for a smoky, charred flavor that adds depth to the dish.
– **Use Chicken Thighs**: If you prefer a juicier, more flavorful cut of chicken, opt for **chicken thighs** instead of breasts.
