High Protein Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Garlicky, cheesy chicken packed into a toasted wrap with a perfectly golden crust, with over 40 grams of protein per serving. They're one of the best high protein meals you can batch cook and have ready for the week.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter for toasting
- 1.5 lbs 680g chicken breast, diced small
- 4 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and cook for 30 to 45 seconds until golden and fragrant.
- Add the diced chicken and all the seasonings, toss to coat, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through with no pink remaining.
- Pull the pan off the heat, scatter the mozzarella and cheddar over the chicken, and stir until the cheese is fully melted through the filling.
- Lay a tortilla flat, spoon a quarter of the filling into the center, fold the sides in, and roll up tightly from the bottom with the seam pressed firmly shut.
- Wipe the skillet clean, melt a little butter over medium heat, and toast the wraps seam-side down for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy all over.
Notes
- Dice the chicken small so it cooks evenly and quickly without drying out. Bigger chunks take longer and the outside overcooks before the center is done.
- Don't skip blooming the garlic first. It makes the flavor noticeably deeper and sweeter compared to just throwing it in with everything else.
- High-protein tortillas are an easy swap if you're tracking macros. Most brands add 6 to 10 grams per wrap with no difference in how they taste or cook.
- Let the wraps rest seam-side down for 30 seconds before toasting so they hold their shape and don't burst open in the pan.
