Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.
03 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1/4 cup chicken broth to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the cheesy sauce. Stir well to coat all the chicken. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully for your Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps: Quick & Keto.

Lay out 4 large low-carb tortillas. Divide the cheesy garlic chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll them up tightly to form the wraps. For the best Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps: Quick & Keto, ensure they are well-filled.

Substitution Tip: Feel free to use cooked rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep time even further. Just shred and add to the sauce.
