Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced (swap with thighs for juicier results)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (butter adds richness; olive oil keeps it lighter)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (roasted garlic gives a sweeter, deeper taste)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (substitute regular paprika if you like)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (or a pinch of Italian seasoning)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For assembly
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone (try a mix of mozzarella and sharp cheddar for more bite)
  • 4 pieces low carb wraps or large lettuce leaves (for a keto-friendly swap)
  • 1 cup baby spinach or arugula (swap spinach with kale for a stronger flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (Greek yogurt keeps it lighter)
  • Optional: sliced avocado, roasted red peppers, or a squeeze of lemon for brightness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano.
  2. Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken slices in a single layer. Let them sear without moving for 2 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Flip the chicken and add the minced garlic around the pieces.
  2. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 4–6 more minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and scatter the shredded cheese over the chicken.
  4. Cover the skillet for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Assembling the Wraps
  1. Warm your low carb wraps in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  2. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt down the center of each wrap.
  3. Pile on spinach or arugula, then spoon the cheesy garlic chicken on top.
  4. Fold the sides of the wrap in and roll tightly.
  5. For a crisper finish, place back in a warm skillet seam-side down for 30–60 seconds.
  6. Slice in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.
