How to Make It (Step-by-Step Method) for High-Protein Crispy Cottage Cheese Flatbread Chicken Wraps

1. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Flatbread

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

In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Blend until completely smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a rectangle about ¼-inch thick. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly—this ensures uniform cooking.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. The surface should look lightly puffed and dry to the touch.

For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–7 minutes. This resting period allows the flatbread to firm up slightly, making it easier to slice and roll without tearing.

2. Season and Cook the Chicken

While the flatbread bakes, prepare the chicken.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden brown with slight charred edges.

The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. Resting keeps the juices inside the meat.

Slice into thin strips against the grain for maximum tenderness.

3. Make the Creamy Yogurt Sauce

In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Stir until smooth.

For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of olive oil or chopped herbs.

The sauce should be thick yet spoonable—cool and tangy to contrast the warm chicken.

4. Assemble the Wraps

Once the flatbread has cooled slightly, slice it into large rectangles or squares, depending on your preferred wrap size.

Layer each piece with:

• A spoonful of yogurt sauce
• Sliced chicken
• Shredded lettuce
• Cherry tomatoes
• Red onion
• Fresh herbs

Fold tightly like a wrap or roll into a burrito-style cylinder.

For extra crispiness, you can place the assembled wrap back into a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden and sealed.

The result: a warm, crispy exterior with juicy, flavorful filling inside.

Serving Suggestions for High-Protein Crispy Cottage Cheese Flatbread Chicken Wraps

These wraps are wonderfully versatile and can be presented in several creative ways depending on the occasion.

For a casual family dinner, serve the flatbread whole on a large wooden board with bowls of chicken, veggies, sauce, and herbs arranged around it. Let everyone build their own wrap. This interactive, build-your-own style dinner makes it fun and customizable—great for kids and adults alike. Add sides like roasted sweet potatoes, cucumber salad, or baked zucchini fries for a colorful spread. The contrast of crispy flatbread with fresh, cool toppings makes every plate visually inviting.

For individual plating, slice each wrap diagonally and arrange on a plate with a small ramekin of extra yogurt sauce for dipping. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a wedge of lemon. If you’re hosting friends, you can secure the wraps with parchment paper and twine for a café-style presentation. They’re also perfect for meal prep—simply wrap tightly in foil and pack with a side of fruit or a small container of hummus for a balanced lunchbox option.

Storage + Meal Prep for High-Protein Crispy Cottage Cheese Flatbread Chicken Wraps

If you have leftovers, store the components separately for best results. The cooked chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The cottage cheese flatbread can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days, layered between parchment paper to prevent sticking.

The yogurt sauce should be kept in a sealed container and used within 3 days. Fresh vegetables are best sliced right before serving to maintain crunch.

To reheat, warm the flatbread and chicken in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until heated through. Avoid microwaving too long, as it can soften the crisp edges. Refresh the wrap by adding fresh lettuce and a squeeze of lemon before serving.

You can also freeze the flatbread (without toppings) for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm and crisp.
