Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup light cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 large low carb tortillas

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1.5 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup fairlife milk
  • 1/2 lemon juice and zest

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken in a pot covered with water and add some spices to the water, such as peppercorns, salt, and herbs. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Place chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, chopped parsley, and onion powder in a food processor. Blend until all ingredients come together.
  • Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture thinly onto a flour tortilla.
  • Roll up the tortilla and cut off the ends. Then cut it into three equal pieces.
  • Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture and tortillas.
  • Place the cut tortilla pinwheels into a muffin pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil.
  • Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
  • Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. Cut them in half for more bites. Serve with dipping sauce.
  • Make the dipping sauce by combining the cottage cheese, milk, ranch seasoning, and lemon juice in a blender. Keep the dipping sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

You could substitute rotisserie chicken or canned chicken instead of cooking the chicken.
You can substitute cheddar cheese for the mozzarella.
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days and reheated in the microwave or oven
