Ingredients
4 slices bacon (approximately 40g), cooked until crispy
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (approximately 150g), cooked and shredded
2 tablespoons cream cheese (approximately 30g), softened
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (approximately 15g), preferably avocado oil mayo
1 clove garlic, minced (approximately 3g)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large lettuce leaf (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce), or a low-carb tortilla (optional, adjust macros accordingly)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (approximately 25g)
Cooking Instructions
- Prepare the bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble or chop into small pieces.
- Prepare the chicken: Ensure the chicken breast is cooked thoroughly. It can be grilled, baked, or pan-fried. Once cooked, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the garlic cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Combine ingredients: Add the shredded chicken and crumbled bacon to the cream cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay the large lettuce leaf or low-carb tortilla flat. Spread the chicken and bacon mixture evenly over the lettuce or tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Wrap it up: Carefully fold in the sides of the lettuce or tortilla, and then roll it up tightly from the bottom. If using lettuce, be gentle to avoid tearing.
- Serve immediately: The Bacon and Chicken Garlic Wrap is best served immediately to prevent the lettuce from becoming soggy.
Pro Tips
For an extra layer of flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the chicken and bacon mixture.
If using a low-carb tortilla, lightly warm it in a dry skillet before assembling the wrap to make it more pliable and less likely to crack.
To make the wrap ahead of time, prepare the chicken and bacon mixture and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the wrap just before serving.
Add other low-carb vegetables like avocado slices, chopped tomatoes, or bell peppers for added nutrients and texture.
