Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious, satisfying meal perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Loaded with tender chicken, melty cheeses, and fragrant garlic, they offer rich flavor without the extra carbs. Plus, using rotisserie chicken makes preparation a breeze.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from a block)
• 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 recommended)
• 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. Warm your 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 cream cheese evenly coats the mixture. Break up cream cheese with a fork if needed.
3. Step 3: Divide the mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, like a burrito.
4. Step 4: Place wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side without moving to develop golden-brown marks. Cheese should start to ooze and the outside become crispy. If browning too quickly before cheese melts, reduce heat to medium-low. Remove from heat, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately while cheese is melty.

Tips & Variations

• Use block cheese and shred it yourself for better melting and no added starches.
• Try adding a handful of baby spinach for extra nutrition without altering the flavor.
• Choose your favorite low-carb tortillas that hold up well to avoid tearing.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Place parchment paper between each wrap to prevent sticking. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore a crispy exterior and melty cheese. Avoid microwaving to maintain texture. These wraps can also be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cooked chicken?

Yes, you can use grilled, baked, or leftover chicken breast. Rotisserie chicken is recommended for flavor and convenience, but any cooked chicken will work.

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

You can use regular tortillas if you’re not strictly low carb, but choose ones that are sturdy enough to hold the filling without tearing during cooking.

Chicken Mixture

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from a block)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional extra clove for more garlic flavor)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out for 30 minutes before mixing)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Handful of baby spinach (optional)

Wraps

• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance recommended)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the cream cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure easy mixing and even distribution in the filling.
2. Heat the 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 tortillas by microwaving them for 10-15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to keep them pliable and prevent cracking.
3. Combine the filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using, add the baby spinach at this point. Mix thoroughly using a fork or spatula until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients, creating a creamy, garlicky texture.
4. Assemble the wraps: Evenly divide the chicken mixture among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling to prevent the wraps from splitting. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking the sides in to form a burrito-like wrap.
5. Cook the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down onto the preheated skillet. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Watch for cheese oozing slightly from the edges as a sign of readiness. If the wraps brown too quickly before the cheese melts, reduce heat to medium-low. Remove from heat when perfectly crispy and melty inside.
6. Serve: Slice the wraps diagonally in half and serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.

Notes

• Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor from the seasoning.
• Shredding cheese from blocks improves melting and avoids added starches found in pre-shredded cheese.
• Softened cream cheese is key for smooth mixing and creamy texture.
• Warming tortillas briefly prevents them from cracking during rolling.
• If you like extra garlic flavor, add an additional clove of minced garlic.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container with parchment paper between wraps in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat in an oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes for best texture—crispy exterior and melty cheese.
• Optional baby spinach adds nutrition without altering the flavor significantly.
