Chicken and Seasoning
- 1 pound chicken strips
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Wraps
- Heat Olive Oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken and garlic.
- Sauté Garlic: Add minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, releasing its aroma and flavor.
- Cook Chicken Strips: Add chicken strips to the skillet and season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce heat to low and sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the cooked chicken. Cover the skillet to let the cheese melt evenly, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Warm Tortillas: While the cheese melts, warm the low-carb tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable and hot.
- Assemble Wraps: Place a portion of the cheesy garlic chicken onto each tortilla, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, wrap tightly, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use low-carb tortillas to keep the carbohydrate content minimal.
- Fresh garlic can be substituted with garlic powder if needed, though fresh provides better flavor.
- To add some heat, consider adding red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute mozzarella cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
