The chicken is generously covered with a smooth, thick, bright yellow-orange cheese sauce that drips slightly onto the white plate beneath. The wrap rests on a white marbled texture surface, showing the warm, appetizing colors and textures of the melted sauce and tender chicken inside. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pound chicken strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 low-carb tortillas
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2: Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add chicken strips to the skillet, season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5: Warm the low-carb tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
Step 6: Place a portion of the cheesy garlic chicken onto each tortilla, sprinkle with fresh parsley, wrap tightly, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic and chicken.
Swap mozzarella for pepper jack cheese if you prefer a little heat.
If low-carb tortillas aren’t available, use large lettuce leaves as a fresh, crunchy alternative.
Add sliced avocado or a dollop of sour cream inside the wrap for creaminess.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken and cheese mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Wraps are best assembled fresh, but you can keep the chicken mixture and tortillas separately and reheat before assembling. Reheat the chicken gently in a skillet or microwave until warm, and warm tortillas briefly before assembling to avoid sogginess.

How to Serve

The image shows two thick wraps cut in half and stacked on top of each other on a piece of flatbread. Each wrap has a soft, white, slightly toasted tortilla on the outside. Inside, there are several layers: a base of golden brown grilled chicken pieces, topped with a thick yellow-orange melted cheese layer, and covered by creamy, light beige sauce with black pepper sprinkled on top. The wraps appear warm and gooey with the sauce slowly dripping down. The background surface is a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
