How to Make It

This recipe is straightforward and rewarding.

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Blend

Blend cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and olive oil until smooth.

3. Spread

Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet, shaping it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.

4. Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and set. Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness. Let it rest for 5–7 minutes.

5. Prepare Chicken

Pat the chicken dry. Combine paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

6. Cook Chicken

Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Rest for 5 minutes, and then slice it.

7. Make Sauce

In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create a sauce.

8. Slice and Assemble

Slice the flatbread into rectangles, then layer with yogurt sauce, sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and herbs.

9. Fold

Fold the rectangles tightly into wraps. Optionally, sear in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side for extra crispness.

How to Store It

Fridge: up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: no, as it affects wrap crispness.
Reheat: warm in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the flatbread is evenly spread to bake uniformly.

Serving Suggestions
