Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 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
Wraps and Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil to coat the surface. This will ensure the wraps get a golden, crispy exterior.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined to create the cheesy garlic chicken filling.
- Assemble Wraps: Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly onto each low-carb tortilla. Spread the filling in the center and roll each tortilla tightly to form the wraps.
- Cook Wraps: Place the wraps seam side down onto the preheated skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until the wraps turn golden brown and the cheese inside melts, flipping carefully to avoid unrolling.
- Serve: Remove the cooked wraps from the skillet, slice in half diagonally for easier eating, and serve hot. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired for added color and flavor.
Notes
- Use low-carb tortillas to keep the carbs minimal and maintain the wrap’s structure while preventing sogginess.
- Shred the chicken finely for an even mixture that melts well with the cheese.
- Softening the cream cheese before mixing helps achieve a smooth and creamy filling.
- Adjust the garlic quantity to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute cheeses with suitable non-dairy alternatives, though this may alter texture and taste.
- Serve immediately after cooking for the best flavor and texture; leftovers can be reheated gently in a skillet.
