Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner. Packed with tender chicken, melted cheese, and a hint of garlic, they’re easy to prepare and wonderfully flavorful. Plus, using low-carb tortillas keeps this dish light without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (or use rotisserie chicken)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 handful baby spinach (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While it heats, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese coats everything evenly.
3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to form secure wraps.
4. Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side without moving them, until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly oozing from the edges.
5. Step 5: Remove from the skillet, slice each wrap in half diagonally, and serve hot. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the chicken mixture.
• Use spinach or kale for a boost of greens and added nutrition.
• Substitute the low-carb tortillas with large lettuce leaves for an even lower-carb option.
• Try swapping mozzarella or cheddar for your favorite cheese blends to customize the flavor.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to keep the tortilla crisp and cheese melted. Avoid microwaving directly as it can make the tortilla soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking my own?

Yes, rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves time. Just shred it before mixing with the other ingredients.

What kind of tortilla is best for this recipe?

Large low-carb tortillas are ideal to keep the dish light and satisfying, but you can use regular tortillas if you prefer. Just be mindful that the carb count will be higher.

Chicken Mixture

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (or use rotisserie chicken)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 handful baby spinach (optional)

For Wrapping and Cooking

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps

Instructions

1. Preheat Skillet and Warm Tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Meanwhile, warm your low-carb tortillas by placing them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, covering them with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
2. Prepare Chicken Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using, add the baby spinach now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients and the mixture is well combined.
3. Assemble Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four warmed tortillas, placing about half a cup of filling in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to form secure wraps.
4. Cook Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes without moving them to allow a golden-brown crust to form and the cheese inside to melt and become slightly gooey.
5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half diagonally, and serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley if desired for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Notes

• Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.
• Warming tortillas briefly helps prevent cracking when rolling.
• Optional baby spinach adds extra nutrition and color but can be omitted if preferred.
• Cook the wraps without moving them to get a crispy, golden crust.
• For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes inside the filling.
