Ingredients

🍗 350g boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced into two fillets
🧂 1 tsp salt
🧅 1/2 tsp onion powder
🧄 1/2 tsp garlic powder
🌿 1/2 tsp Italian herb seasoning
🥚 2 eggs, whisked
🍞 80g Italian breadcrumbs seasoned with a dash of the spices above
🍅 50g pizza sauce or marinara sauce (e.g., Divina Pizza Sauce), divided
🧀 40g light grated mozzarella
🌿 A sprinkle of dried basil
🌯 1 Xtreme Wellness large tortilla
🌯 1 small tortilla
🍳 Light cooking oil spray

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

Place the chicken fillets between two sheets of parchment paper.
Use a meat tenderizer to flatten the chicken evenly.

2- Season the Chicken:

Sprinkle both sides of the flattened fillets with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian herb seasoning.

3- Bread the Chicken:

Dip each fillet into the whisked eggs, ensuring complete coverage.
Generously coat the egg-dipped chicken in the seasoned Italian breadcrumbs.

4- Cook the Chicken:

Place the breaded fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray with cooking oil.
Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 14-16 minutes, flipping and spraying oil halfway through to achieve even crispness.

5- Assemble the Crunchwrap:

Warm the large tortilla and spread 25g of pizza sauce in the center.
Place one crispy chicken fillet on the sauce, and top with another 25g of pizza sauce.
Sprinkle with mozzarella and dried basil.
Top with the second chicken fillet and cover with the small tortilla.
Fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling to form a hexagonal crunchwrap.

6- Toast the Crunchwrap:

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap sealed-side down to toast and seal.
Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

7- Serve:

Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with your favorite sauce.

Cooking Tips

Pounding the chicken ensures it cooks evenly and remains tender.
Mix a dash of the seasonings into the breadcrumbs for enhanced flavor.
Flipping the chicken and reapplying the oil spray during air frying ensures a consistently crispy crust.
Toasting the crunchwrap not only seals it but also adds a delightful crunch.
