- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (freshly shredded is best!)

- 2 tsp garlic powder (divided)

Instructions
- Prep Your Chicken:: First things first, grab those chicken breasts and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Think little nuggets! Season them generously with a good sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This is where you lay the foundation for all that yummy flavor, so don’t be shy. I usually do this on a cutting board, and sometimes I get a bit messy, but that’s kitchen life, right?
- Sauté the Chicken:: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Once it’s shimmering, toss in your seasoned chicken pieces. Let them cook until they’re golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir them around so they cook evenly. Honestly, the smell of the chicken browning with the garlic is just divine! This is where you want to make sure the chicken is fully cooked before moving on.
- Make the Cheesy Garlic Sauce:: Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese, a splash of milk, and a bit more garlic powder to the skillet with the chicken. Stir it all together, letting the cream cheese melt and create a creamy sauce. It might look a little lumpy at first, but keep stirring gently until it’s smooth and coats the chicken beautifully. This is the heart of your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps!
- Add the Cheddar:: Now for the best part—the cheddar cheese! Sprinkle it over the chicken mixture and let it melt into gooey goodness. Stir it until it’s fully incorporated and everything is wonderfully cheesy and bubbling. I didn’t expect how quickly this comes together, but it does, and it’s glorious! Make sure the heat is low so the cheese melts without burning.
- Warm the Tortillas:: While your cheesy chicken filling is still warm, gently warm your flour tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet for about 15-20 seconds per side, or even pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Warm tortillas are so much easier to work with and prevent tearing when you roll your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.
- Assemble Your Wraps:: Lay out a warm tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken filling down the center, leaving a bit of space at the ends. Fold in the sides, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. The first one might be a bit messy, but you’ll get the hang of it! Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps!
