Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and pat dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Avoid burning the garlic.
  3. Add chicken pieces, cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes until browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Pour chicken broth over the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and deglaze the pan. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Whisk in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, adding red pepper flakes and dried herbs. Stir for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.
  7. Assemble wraps by adding a scoop of chicken mixture and shredded cheese to a tortilla, along with any optional toppings.
  8. Roll each tortilla tightly from one end, tucking in the sides. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.
