Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by preheating a grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking and to add a subtle richness. Place the chicken breast on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The chicken should be golden brown and firm to the touch. This will ensure it's cooked through and juicy.
2. 2.
   While the chicken is grilling, wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel and set aside. Fresh spinach provides a vibrant color and a nutritious base for the wrap.
3. 3.
   Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute within the chicken, making it more flavorful. Thinly slice the chicken against the grain to make it tender and easy to bite into when wrapped.
4. 4.
   Spread the cottage cheese evenly over the whole wheat wrap. Cottage cheese adds a creamy texture and enhances the protein content significantly. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before spreading.
5. 5.
   Layer the fresh spinach leaves evenly over the cottage cheese-covered wrap. Then, add the sliced grilled chicken on top. Tightly roll the wrap starting from one side to encase all the ingredients. Place the wrap back on the warm grill pan for about 1-2 minutes on each side to slightly crisp the wrap and warm the contents. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
