this Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 8 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Preparing the Chicken and Vegetables:

1. First, let’s get the chicken ready. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through. This usually takes about 7-10 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken pieces. Make sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. We want the chicken to be cooked all the way through, so no pink remains!
2. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside in a bowl. Don’t clean the skillet just yet; we’ll use it again for the vegetables.
3. Now, let’s move on to the vegetables. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes softened and translucent. This usually takes about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. We want the onions to be nice and soft, releasing their sweet flavor.
4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the onions and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter. The aroma of garlic is one of my favorite things about cooking!
5. Next, add the chopped red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until the peppers are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Again, stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. I love the color and crunch that bell peppers add to this dish.

Making the Creamy Cheese Sauce:

1. Now for the creamy, cheesy goodness! In a large bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk. Whisk everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. This is the base of our delicious sauce.
2. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the sauce. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Feel free to add a little more garlic powder or red pepper flakes if you like a stronger flavor.
3. Add 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and cheesy. The cheese will make the sauce extra rich and flavorful.

Combining the Ingredients:

1. Add the cooked chicken and the cooked vegetables to the bowl with the creamy cheese sauce. Stir everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce. Make sure every piece of chicken and every vegetable is covered in that delicious cheesy sauce!

Assembling the Wraps:

1. Time to assemble the wraps! Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
2. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Don’t overfill the tortillas, or they will be difficult to roll.
3. Sprinkle each tortilla with a little of the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese. We want that extra cheesy goodness in every bite!
4. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Make sure to tuck in the filling as you roll to keep everything secure.

Baking the Wraps:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray. This will prevent the wraps from sticking to the dish.
3. Place the assembled wraps seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. This will help them stay closed during baking.
4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Brush the tops of the wraps with the butter mixture. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown color and a delicious crispy texture.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
6. Remove the wraps from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the cheese to set slightly and prevent burning your mouth.

Serving:

1. Garnish the wraps with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. This adds a pop of color and freshness.
2. Serve the cheesy chicken garlic wraps warm. They are delicious on their own or with a side of sour cream or salsa.

Tips and Variations:

• Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken and vegetable mixture for extra heat.
• Add more veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach.
• Use different cheese: Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or provolone.
• Make it ahead: You can assemble the wraps ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake them. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
• Freezing: These wraps freeze well. Assemble them, but don’t bake them. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. When ready to bake, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed.
• Grilling: For a smoky flavor, grill the wraps after baking them in the oven. Just grill them for a few minutes per side until they are heated through and slightly charred.
• Smaller Wraps: Use smaller tortillas for appetizer-sized wraps. Adjust the filling amount accordingly.
• Cream Cheese: Add 2 ounces of softened cream cheese to the sauce for an even creamier texture.
• Seasoning Blend: Instead of individual spices, use a pre-made Italian seasoning blend or a taco seasoning blend for a different flavor profile.
