Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.

2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

4. Fold the tortillas to enclose the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.

5. Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
