# How to Prepare:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, and oregano. Blend until completely smooth.
03 - Pour the batter onto the prepared tray, spreading into four even circles about 7 inches in diameter. Bake for 18-20 minutes until edges are golden and flatbreads are set and lightly crisp. Set aside.
04 - While the flatbread bakes, slice chicken breasts into strips. In a bowl, toss with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
05 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat.
06 - Lay a flatbread on a plate. Layer lettuce, tomato, onion, and chicken strips down the center. Drizzle with Greek yogurt and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
07 - Roll tightly into a wrap. Cut in half and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- You get that satisfying crispy bread texture without the carb crash that usually follows
- Each wrap packs nearly 40 grams of protein but somehow still feels like comfort food
02 -
- The cottage cheese batter must be completely smooth or you'll get gritty spots in your bread
- Let those flatbreads cool slightly before rolling or they might tear under the weight of fillings
03 -
- If your batter seems too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it spreads easily
- Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute
