Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into strips)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (or wraps of your choice)
- Olive oil spray
Instructions:
Prep the Chicken:
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Coat the Chicken:
- In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken strip into the beaten egg and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the chicken is fully covered.
Air Fry the Chicken:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the breaded chicken strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
- Add a few strips of air-fried chicken to the center of each tortilla.
- Top with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Wrap It Up:
- Carefully roll up the tortillas, folding in the sides as you go to create a tight wrap.
Air Fry the Wraps:
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer).
- Lightly spray the wraps with olive oil to help them crisp up.
- Air fry for 5-6 minutes at 375°F (190°C), until the wraps are golden and crispy.
Serve:
- Serve the cheesy chicken parmesan wraps with extra marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
This recipe is great for a quick weeknight dinner, and the air fryer gives it that crispy, crunchy texture without all the oil. You can also customize it by adding some fresh basil or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
