Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
These low carb cheesy garlic chicken wraps are quick to prepare and filled with melty cheese, garlicky chicken, making them perfect for weeknight dinners or quick lunches.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Rotisserie or leftover roast chicken works great.
- 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or mozzarella; cheddar gives more tang, mozzarella melts extra-silky.
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced About 4–6 small cloves.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 4 large lettuce leaves or low carb wraps Use lettuce for a crisp, fresh vessel.
Optional Toppings
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 medium avocado
- to taste sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant—don't let it brown.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and stir so the garlic coats the chicken evenly. Warm the chicken through for 1–2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheese until it melts into the chicken and creates a creamy binding.
Assembly
- Lay out the lettuce leaves or low carb wraps.
- Spoon the chicken-and-cheese mixture into the center of each.
- Top with diced tomatoes, slices of avocado, or a dollop of sour cream if you like. Wrap and serve immediately.
Notes
Store the chicken-and-cheese filling in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Keep lettuce or low-carb wraps separately to avoid sogginess. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
