Ingredients
  

Cottage Cheese Base
  • 1 3/4 cups cottage cheese Low-fat preferred for a lighter twist.
  • 4 large eggs Room temperature for better mixing.
  • 1/4 cup chives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Chicken Filling
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Extra virgin for more flavor.
  • 1 lb chicken Shredded or cut into 1/2-inch cubes; rotisserie chicken works well.
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons pesto Homemade or store-bought.
Assembly
  • 1/2 cup hummus Choose your favorite flavor.
  • 2/3 cup tomatoes, diced Fresh is best for a juicy bite.
  • 2 1/2 oz arugula Adds a peppery touch; substitute with spinach if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, chives, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth—aim for a creamy consistency, about 2-3 minutes. (Chef's Tip: Use a hand mixer for extra fluffiness!)
Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated (look for a shimmer), add your chicken. Cook thoroughly until it’s golden brown, about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Stir in the pesto and cook for another minute to combine flavors perfectly.
Assembly
  1. Spread a generous layer of hummus on your tortilla. Next, add a substantial dollop of the cottage cheese mixture followed by the chicken, diced tomatoes, and a handful of arugula. (Chef's Tip: Don’t overfill to prevent spills when rolling!)
  2. Roll your tortilla tightly, starting from one end, and wrap it securely. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help it hold its shape.
  3. Once chilled, slice into pinwheels and serve them up!

Notes

These pinwheels can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Prep the cottage cheese mixture and chicken filling a few days in advance to save time.
