This is an easy recipe for another fellow cheese lovers out there. It is super simple to make this one. Boneless skinless chicken is seasoned and cooked until tender and delicious and it is mixed with a fabulous garlic cheese sauce and wrapped up in a wrap. I used these jalapeno cheddar wraps I like. You can also use burrito size tortillas.
If you haven’t made homemade cheese sauce before, don’t be intimidated at all. This one is so easy to make and only takes 5 minutes. I put a lot of garlic in mine because I love garlic, but you can reduce it or leave it out if you prefer. Definitely serve this with something fresh and light on the side, because it is rich and cheesy. I served it with a simple side salad.
Cheesy Chicken Wraps
Tender seasoned chicken in a creamy garlic cheese sauce in a wrap
Ingredients
For the cheese sauce:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups light cream
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 tsp dried mustard
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper
- water to thin if needed
For the wraps:
- 4 wraps or burrito tortillas
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 2 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Thinly slice the chicken and toss with the seasonings. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium and heat until hot. Add the chicken and allow to brown well on one side before stirring. Cook, stirring occasionally until cooked through. Leave in the pan and set aside.
- For the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium low heat. Add the garlic and cook for a minute or two until fragrant. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the cream a little at a time while whisking, making sure to whisk until smooth each time before adding more cream. This will prevent lumps.
- Once you've added all the cream, add the mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Once it has thickened, reduce the heat to low and add the cheese slowly in a few handfuls, mixing it in before adding more. This will make a smooth sauce. If the sauce seems to thick you can whisk in some water, but you want a fairly thick sauce. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
- Pour enough cheese sauce over the chicken to coat it well. Mix this and if needed, heat a bit over low to warm the chicken. Lay out the wrap and fill one side with chicken and cheese sauce and roll up. Enjoy!
