For the Garlic Chicken:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• Juice of ½ lemon

For the Wraps:

• 4 large tortillas (whole wheat, spinach, or regular)
• 1 cup lettuce, shredded
• 1 cup tomatoes, diced
• ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
• ½ cup cucumber, sliced into matchsticks
• ½ cup shredded cheese (optional, but adds a nice touch of creaminess!)

Sauce Options:

• Garlic aioli
• Tzatziki sauce
• Ranch dressing
• Spicy mayo

Optional Add-Ins:

• 1 avocado, sliced
• ½ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
• Pickled jalapeños, for a spicy kick

Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps come together in just a few simple steps:

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, cumin, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the pan and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3: Prep the Wraps

While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of your chosen sauce in the center.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Layer the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, cucumbers, and any other veggies or toppings you like. Add the sliced chicken on top, followed by shredded cheese (if using).

Step 5: Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. Slice in half, serve with extra sauce for dipping, and enjoy!

What to Serve with Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps are a complete meal on their own, but if you’re looking to round out the table, try pairing them with:

• Sweet Potato Fries: Crispy and slightly sweet, they’re the perfect side dish.
• Fresh Fruit Salad: A light and refreshing contrast to the garlicky wraps.
• Greek Salad: The tangy feta and olives complement the Mediterranean flavors.
• Homemade Hummus with Pita Chips: Perfect for dipping or serving alongside the wraps.

Tips for Perfect Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Don’t skip the marinade! Even 15 minutes of marinating will infuse the chicken with incredible flavor.
• Slice thinly. Thin slices of chicken are easier to wrap and ensure every bite has the perfect balance of ingredients.
• Warm the tortillas. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear when wrapping.
• Customize to your taste. Swap the veggies, add a different sauce, or make them spicy with some hot sauce or jalapeños.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate: Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the microwave or a dry skillet for a few minutes before serving.
• Make Ahead: You can marinate the chicken and prep the veggies ahead of time, but assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
