# What You Need:

→ For the Crispy Cottage Cheese Flatbread

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

→ For the 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 cumin
12 - 1/2 tsp salt
13 - Black pepper to taste

→ For Assembly

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 herbs such as parsley or cilantro for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a food processor or blender, blend cottage cheese until smooth. Add eggs, almond flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend again until fully incorporated and smooth.
03 - Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming four equal circles about 6 inches in diameter. Spread evenly to create uniform thickness.
04 - Bake for 18–20 minutes until firm and edges are golden and crispy. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the parchment paper.
05 - While flatbreads bake, combine shredded chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Optionally, briefly sauté in a pan over medium heat for extra flavor and warmth.
06 - Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise onto each flatbread. Top with seasoned chicken, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion.
07 - Roll up each wrap tightly. Slice in half diagonally if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately while flatbreads retain warmth and crispiness.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Each wrap packs 36 grams of protein without the heavy feeling that often comes with protein-rich meals
  • The crispy flatbread texture is surprisingly close to regular wraps but with a fraction of the carbs
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble in under two minutes for busy weekdays
02 -
  • The flatbreads must cool completely on the baking sheet or they will tear when you try to remove them
  • Over-blending the cottage cheese creates a gummy texture, pulse until just smooth
  • These wraps are best eaten immediately but can be stored unwrapped for up to 2 days
03 -
  • If your batter feels too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it spreads easily
  • Line your baking sheet with a silicone mat instead of parchment for even more crispiness
