How to make High-Protein Crispy Cottage Cheese Flatbread Chicken Wraps

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
• 2 large eggs

• 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

Directions:

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

3. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
4. Bake the flatbread for 18–22 minutes, until it turns golden and is set. If you want it extra crispy, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end. Let it rest for 5–7 minutes.
5. While the flatbread is baking, pat the chicken dry. Mix paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt together, then rub this spice mix over the chicken.
6. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. To make the sauce, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
8. Cut the cooled flatbread into rectangles. Layer each rectangle with yogurt sauce, sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and fresh herbs.
