Ingredients:

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup oat flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and olive oil until smooth.
Spread the mixture into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle on the baking sheet.
Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and set. Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness. Let it rest for 5–7 minutes.
Pat the chicken dry. Mix paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture over the chicken.
Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to make the sauce.
Slice the flatbread into rectangles. Layer each piece with yogurt sauce, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and herbs.
Fold the flatbread tightly into wraps. Optionally, sear in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side for extra crispness.
