Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the hot honey feta:
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
For the garlic sauce:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water, if needed
For assembling:
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced cucumber
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush it with olive oil.
In one bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the beaten eggs in a second bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs to a third bowl.
Coat each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, dip it into the egg, then press it into the panko until fully coated. Arrange the strips on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or brush lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden, crispy, and cooked through.
While the chicken bakes, warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, and water until smooth.
Warm the tortillas. Add lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, mozzarella, crispy chicken, crumbled feta, and a drizzle of hot honey. Add garlic sauce on top, fold tightly, and serve warm.
Use whole wheat tortillas for a heartier wrap. Swap mozzarella for cheddar or Monterey Jack if you prefer a stronger cheese flavor. For extra crunch, add shredded cabbage or pickles. To make it milder, reduce the hot sauce and skip the red pepper flakes.
Storage/Reheating
Store the chicken, sauce, vegetables, and tortillas separately for the best texture. Keep the chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven or air fryer until warm and crispy. Assemble the wraps only when ready to eat. The garlic sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
