  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet (no need to clean it), reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Gradually add the shredded cheese, stirring until it melts into a smooth, creamy sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water or unsweetened almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the cheesy garlic sauce. Stir gently to coat the chicken evenly. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes until the chicken is heated through and well incorporated into the sauce.
  5. Lay out your low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla or wrap.

  6. Top with your favorite optional ingredients such as sliced tomatoes, creamy avocado, fresh spinach leaves, thin slices of red onion, or a kick of jalapeños.

  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla or wrap and then roll it up tightly. If using lettuce wraps, gently fold them to enclose the filling. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Keto Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.

Notes

The chicken and sauce mixture can typically be stored for 3-4 days. It's best to store the filling separately from lettuce wraps. Reheat filling gently in a skillet over low heat.
