Ingredients
- •Cottage Cheese (2%)(240g)

- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •Olive oil(8g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Paprika, Ground(5g)
- •Garlic powder(1g)
- •1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- •Pinch ground black pepper

Grated Parmesan — the shelf-stable canister is fine for cooking.
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Coat the parchment generously with cooking spray. Spread the cottage cheese into an even layer in a flatbread shape, then sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan.
- 2Bake the cottage cheese flatbread for 10 minutes over 400°F. Remove from the oven, and if the curds have spread significantly, use a spatula to gently push them closer together. Return to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes until golden brown and set. Let cool completely, then loosen with a spatula and carefully peel off the parchment.
- 3While the flatbread bakes, pat the chicken breast dry. Drizzle with olive oil and rub evenly with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until fully coated.
- 4Cook the chicken at 375°F (in an air fryer or preheated oven at 425°F) for 8–14 minutes, depending on size, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
- 5In a bowl, toss together the diced chicken, romaine lettuce, grated Parmesan, and Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
- 6Divide the chicken mixture evenly into 2 portions. Pile one portion inside the cooled cottage cheese wrap, roll tightly, and serve. Store the remaining wrap and filling in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
