Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious, satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights. Packed with tender chicken, melty cheese, and a garlic cream cheese blend, these wraps are both flavorful and low in carbs. They’re easy to make and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a tasty, guilt-free dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly here)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (recommended to shred from a block for best melting)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove if you love garlic)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out for 30 minutes before mixing)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance is 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 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 shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese coats everything evenly, breaking it up with a fork if needed.
3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides like a burrito.
4. Step 4: Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side without moving until golden and crispy and cheese begins to ooze. Reduce heat if browning too fast before cheese melts. Remove from heat, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use block cheese and shred it yourself for better melting and to avoid added starches.
• Let cream cheese soften completely before mixing to ensure a smooth, creamy filling.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the mixture.
• Try adding sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers for extra veggies without adding many carbs.
• Substitute tortillas with large lettuce leaves for an even lower-carb, refreshing wrap.

Storage

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

FAQs

Can I use fresh chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Yes, cooked shredded chicken from fresh breasts or thighs works well. Just be sure to cook and shred the chicken before assembling the wraps.

What low-carb tortillas do you recommend?

Mission Carb Balance tortillas are a great choice as they hold up well during cooking without tearing and have a good texture for wraps.
