→ Flavor Builders
07 -
1/2 cup marinara sauce
08 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
09 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
10 -
1 tablespoon olive oil spray (or 1 tbsp olive oil)
11 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
→ Seasonings & Spices
12 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
13 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
→ Finishing & Serving
14 -
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
15 -
1/4 cup ranch dressing or extra marinara, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Dice chicken, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Spray pan with olive oil and cook until no longer pink. This builds the flavorful base for your incredible wraps.
02 -
Combine cooked chicken with marinara sauce and half of the shredded mozzarella. Stir well to coat evenly. This forms the delicious, cheesy core of your Crunchy Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps.
03 -
Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with Panko breadcrumbs. This organized setup is essential for achieving that ultimate crispy coating on your wraps.
04 -
Spoon chicken filling and remaining mozzarella onto tortillas. Fold like a burrito, then dip each wrap in flour, then egg, then Panko, ensuring full coverage.
05 -
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the breaded wraps with olive oil. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and beautifully crispy.
06 -
Once golden, carefully remove the Crunchy Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with ranch dressing or extra marinara for dipping. Pure joy!
# Notes:
01 -
Fold tortillas tightly like a burrito to prevent cheesy filling from escaping during air frying. This ensures a perfectly sealed wrap.
02 -
Store cooled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in air fryer for best crispness.
03 -
Always use low-moisture mozzarella cheese for crisp wraps; fresh mozzarella will make them soggy and lack crunch.
04 -
Serve wraps immediately while hot and fresh for best texture, with ranch dressing or extra marinara for dipping.
05 -
Cook chicken filling 2 days ahead and refrigerate. Assemble and bread wraps just before air frying for best crispness.
