Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Use rotisserie chicken for convenience or shredded poached chicken for a leaner texture.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Cheddar offers a sharper flavor while mozzarella melts smoother.
  • 4 large lettuce leaves or low carb tortillas Choose according to dietary preference.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin olive oil recommended for best flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic provides better flavor than powdered.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: avocado slices, salsa, sour cream Customize as desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stir until warmed through, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
  5. Prepare the wraps: Lay out the lettuce leaves or tortillas and divide the cheesy chicken mixture among them.
  6. Add optional toppings, wrap tightly, and serve immediately.

Notes

For optimal texture and flavor, use room-temperature chicken and freshly grated cheese. Avoid overfilling wraps to prevent tearing.
