Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Season the chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
3. Add the peppers: Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers and cook for another 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
4. Mix in the cheese: Lower the heat, then add the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and the chicken is coated in a creamy, cheesy garlic sauce.
5. Assemble the wraps: Warm the tortillas slightly to make them flexible. Spoon the cheesy chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.
6. Fold and grill: Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Place the wraps seam-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
7. Serve: Slice the wraps in half, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with ranch or garlic sauce for dipping.
