Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and satisfying meal perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Packed with tender chicken, melted cheese, and fresh garlic flavor, they offer a comforting yet healthy option that’s easy to prepare.

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. Meanwhile, 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, cheddar, 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 warmed tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go 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

• Use rotisserie chicken for a time-saving option without sacrificing flavor.
• Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture for a spicy kick.
• Swap baby spinach for kale or arugula for a different leafy green texture.
• For extra crispiness, toast the wraps in the skillet with a little extra olive oil.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and the cheese softens, or microwave briefly covered with a damp paper towel to maintain moisture.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute mozzarella and cheddar with cheeses like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a blend of your favorites depending on your taste preferences.

Are these wraps suitable for freezing?

While you can freeze the prepared wraps, the texture of the tortilla may change once thawed. For best results, freeze the filling separately and assemble fresh before cooking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Wrap Filling

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
• 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)

Other Ingredients

• 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 to coat the surface. Meanwhile, warm the low-carb tortillas by placing them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking or tearing.
2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using baby spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients and the mixture is well combined.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the four warmed tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup of filling in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you roll to form secure wraps.
4. Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook without moving them for 2-3 minutes to allow the wrap to golden and crisp up. Carefully flip each wrap and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside has melted and is slightly oozing.
5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each one diagonally in half, and serve hot. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired for added color and flavor.

Notes

• For an extra kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
• Use full-fat cream cheese for best melting and flavor, but light cream cheese can be substituted to reduce calories.
• If you prefer, substitute baby spinach with fresh kale or arugula for different greens.
• Ensure tortillas are warmed before assembling to prevent cracking when rolling.
• These wraps can be prepped ahead and grilled just before serving for convenience.
• Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a skillet for best texture.
