How to Make Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Heat olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 20 seconds until fragrant.
Add cooked chicken, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and cook for 3–4 minutes until everything is well coated and warm. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cheese Wrap Base
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella (and cheddar if using) into thin circles, about 6–7 inches wide.
Bake at 190°C / 375°F for 6–8 minutes, just until the cheese melts and the edges turn slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 30–40 seconds so it firms up but stays flexible.
Step 3: Fill and Wrap
Place a portion of garlic chicken in the center of each cheese wrap. Add spinach or veggies if using.
Carefully fold like a wrap or roll it up gently.
Step 4: Final Crisp (Optional but Recommended)
Place the wraps seam-side down on a pan and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly crisped. This step adds a great texture.
