Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a quick and flavorful meal perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep. Combining tender rotisserie chicken, gooey cheeses, and a punch of garlic, these wraps offer a satisfying low-carb option that doesn’t skimp on taste.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shredded from block recommended)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove if you love garlic)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance preferred)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Handful of baby spinach, optional

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While the pan heats, warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add spinach if using. Mix well until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients; use a fork to break up cream cheese if needed.
3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly into the center of each tortilla, about 1/2 cup per wrap to avoid overfilling. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides like a burrito.
4. Step 4: Place wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese starts to ooze. Reduce heat if browning too fast before cheese melts. Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use block cheese and shred it yourself to ensure better melting and avoid added starches found in pre-shredded cheese.
• For extra garlic flavor, increase the minced garlic or add a pinch of garlic powder to the mixture.
• Swap baby spinach for kale or arugula for a different leafy green twist.
• Serve with a simple arugula salad or roasted vegetables to balance richness.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent sticking, place parchment paper between each wrap. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispness and melt the cheese perfectly—a better method than microwaving. These wraps can also be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge for a quick, protein-packed meal.

FAQs

Can I use other types of chicken?

Yes, you can use any cooked chicken such as grilled or baked chicken breast. Rotisserie chicken adds extra seasoning and saves time.

What if I don’t have low-carb tortillas?

You can use regular tortillas, but keep in mind this will increase the carb count. For a lower-carb option, lettuce leaves can also be used as wraps.
