Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup sliced tomato
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the chicken: In one shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In a second dish, place the beaten eggs. In a third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip it into the egg, letting excess drip off. Finally, press the strip firmly into the panko breadcrumbs to coat completely.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit). Remove chicken and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried dill, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a generous amount of the garlic yogurt sauce down the center. Layer with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and several pieces of the crispy chicken.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
For a less oily option, you can air fry the breaded chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
You can prepare the garlic yogurt sauce up to one day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.
Add a dash of hot sauce to the yogurt mixture for a spicy kick.
