# What you need:

→ Crispy Cottage Cheese Flatbread

01 - 2 cups cottage cheese, low-fat or full-fat
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup almond flour
04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1/2 tsp salt
07 - Black pepper to taste

→ Seasoned Chicken Filling

08 - 2 medium chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (about 12 oz)
09 - 1 tbsp olive oil
10 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
11 - 1/2 tsp ground cumin
12 - 1/2 tsp salt
13 - Black pepper to taste

→ Assembly and Garnish

14 - 1 cup shredded green lettuce
15 - 1 medium tomato, sliced
16 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
17 - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or light mayonnaise
18 - Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Set oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Process cottage cheese until completely smooth. Add eggs, almond flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until fully incorporated and smooth.
03 - Pour batter onto prepared baking sheet in four equal circles, approximately 6 inches in diameter. Spread each evenly to create uniform thickness.
04 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until firm to touch and edges are golden brown and crispy. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing from parchment.
05 - Combine shredded chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. For enhanced flavor, briefly sauté in a pan over medium heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
06 - Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise over each flatbread. Layer seasoned chicken, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion evenly across the surface.
07 - Tightly roll each flatbread starting from one end, tucking in ingredients as you roll. Slice in half diagonally if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately while flatbreads retain warmth and crispiness.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • 36 grams of protein per wrap but tastes like comfort food not health food
  • The flatbread gets genuinely crispy not just firm like some low carb attempts
  • Everything comes together in under an hour including the flatbread baking time
02 -
  • The cottage cheese must be blended absolutely smooth or you will get weird textures in your finished flatbread
  • Do not skip letting the flatbreads cool for 5 minutes they will tear if you try to move them while hot
  • Roll these wraps right before serving because the crispy flatbread will soften over time
03 -
  • Spread the flatbread batter as thin and even as possible for maximum crispiness
  • Warm your spices in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding them to the chicken for deeper flavor
