How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Keto Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Season

Season the chicken breasts with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

3. Cook

Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.

4. Shred

Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks until it’s completely pulled apart.

5. Bake

On a baking sheet, layer shredded cheese in the shape of a wrap and bake until melted and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Cool

Remove the cheese from the oven and let it cool slightly, so it firms up a bit.

7. Assemble

Place shredded chicken in the middle of the cheesy wrap and add your desired toppings.

8. Fold

Fold the lettuce wrap around the filling and enjoy your meal!

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, wraps don’t freeze well due to sogginess.
Reheat: Microwave on low for 1-2 minutes until warm.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure your skillet is hot enough for a good sear on the chicken.
• Let the cheese cool just enough to hold its shape but not too long that it hardens completely.
• Experiment with herbs and spices in the chicken seasoning for extra flavor.
• Keep the toppings fresh to maintain the contrast in textures and flavors.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a light salad for a balanced meal.
• Serve with a side of guacamole for added richness.
• Offer a selection of dips for a fun appetizer spread.
