Dice the raw chicken breast into small half-inch pieces and season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with 0.25 tsp of olive oil.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside; wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
Place the flour tortilla in the skillet over medium-low heat and lightly brush the top surface with the remaining 0.25 tsp of olive oil.
Spread the blended cottage cheese over one half of the tortilla, then layer the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar, and salsa on top.
Fold the tortilla in half over the filling and press down gently with a spatula.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese has fully melted.
