Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 large lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce)
- 1/4 cup diced tomato
- 2 tablespoons light ranch dressing (or your preferred sauce)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, garlic powder, and salt, mixing thoroughly until well combined.
- Step 2: Carefully spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin, rectangular or circular flatbread shape, aiming for about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Step 3: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cottage cheese flatbread is golden brown, crispy around the edges, and firm when gently pressed. Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to allow it to firm up completely.
- Step 4: While the flatbread cools, prepare your fillings. In a small bowl, toss the shredded cooked chicken with the ranch dressing until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Step 5: Once cooled, carefully peel the crispy cottage cheese flatbread from the parchment paper and place it on a clean surface. Evenly spread the dressed chicken mixture over one half of the flatbread, then top with the lettuce leaves and diced tomato.
- Step 6: Gently roll the flatbread tightly into a wrap, starting from the filled side. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For the best texture and to prevent sogginess, store the cooled cottage cheese flatbread separately from the chicken filling, lettuce, and tomato in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2-3 days, assembling your wrap just before serving.
- If you've stored the flatbread, restore its delightful crispness by reheating it in a preheated oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes before adding your fillings.
- Transform this into a more complete and vibrant meal by serving your crispy chicken wraps alongside a fresh, zesty green salad or a light, refreshing fruit salad.
- For ultimate crispiness and a non-stick experience, ensure your parchment paper is lightly greased in Step 1, and crucially, let the flatbread cool for the full 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet to firm up completely before peeling it.
