# Ingredients:

→ Golden Chicken Coating

01 - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
04 - 1 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
06 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - 2 large eggs, whisked
09 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

→ Melted Mozzarella Embrace

10 - 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
11 - 1/2 cup marinara sauce

→ Crisp Wrap Foundation

12 - 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
13 - Olive oil cooking spray

→ Fresh Finish

14 - 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste in a shallow dish. Whisk 2 large eggs in another. Place 1 cup panko breadcrumbs in a third. This forms the golden coating for your Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps.
02 - Slice 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick cutlets. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, then dip in whisked eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure even coverage for the crispiest texture in your Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps.
03 - Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Lightly spray the breaded chicken with olive oil cooking spray. Air fry in batches for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Set aside.
04 - Lay out 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas. Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce evenly over each. Top with the cooked chicken pieces and 1.5 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom to create secure wraps.
05 - Lightly spray the assembled wraps with olive oil cooking spray. Place 2 wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and the mozzarella is melted and bubbly. Repeat with remaining wraps for your Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps.
06 - Carefully remove the hot Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps from the air fryer. Let them rest for a minute, then slice each wrap in half diagonally. Garnish generously with 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped, and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
02 - Swap marinara for pesto or a creamy garlic sauce for a different flavor profile.
03 - These wraps are delicious with a side salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a complete meal.
04 - Leftover wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes until warmed through.
