Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded Rotisserie chicken works great
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Whole-milk mozzarella recommended for best melt
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar adds a bolder flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic strongly recommended
  • 0.25 cup cream cheese, softened Leave out 20 minutes before using for easy mixing
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and pepper To taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet or grill pan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it warm for about 60 seconds until it shimmers and is ready.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and no dry pockets remain.
  3. Divide the filling into 4 equal portions. Lay each tortilla flat, spoon the filling toward the center, fold in the sides first, then roll the tortilla tightly away from you to form a sealed wrap.
  4. Place each wrap seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and the cheese inside has melted fully. Do not increase the heat to rush this step.
  5. Transfer to a cutting board, rest for one minute, slice each wrap in half on a diagonal, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

The filling can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored covered in the fridge. Reheat wraps in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for best texture. The filling also freezes well for up to 2 months.
