Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Wraps
- 4 low-carb tortillas (around 6–8 inches each)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center.
- Shred the chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the low-carb tortillas and evenly distribute the shredded chicken on each. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken while still warm so it slightly melts.
- Wrap and serve: Fold the tortillas tightly around the filling to form wraps. Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and melty.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or fresh parsley to the chicken while cooking.
- Use a low-carb wrap brand with around 4-6g net carbs per tortilla for best results.
- If preferred, add a few leaves of fresh spinach or lettuce inside the wrap for added texture and nutrition.
- These wraps can be reheated in a skillet or microwave, but it’s best to eat fresh for optimal taste and cheese melt.
