How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken Spinach Wraps – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Sauté the Chicken

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add diced chicken, garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
3. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, about 7–8 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Cheese Sauce

1. In the same skillet, melt butter.
2. Whisk in flour and stir continuously for 1 minute to form a roux.
3. Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened.

Step 3: Combine Filling

1. Return the chicken and spinach mixture to the skillet.
2. Stir well to evenly coat the chicken in the creamy sauce.
3. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

1. Slightly warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for easier rolling.
2. Spoon the creamy chicken mixture evenly across all tortillas.
3. Roll tightly like burritos.

Step 5: Grill for Texture

1. Heat a dry skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
2. Grill each wrap seam-side down for 2–3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
3. Slice diagonally and serve!
