Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g), sliced into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray or a light mist of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (low-sugar or homemade preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 4 large whole wheat or low-carb tortillas (warm for easier rolling)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with whole wheat flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper; one with beaten egg; and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
  4. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or lightly brush with olive oil. Place coated chicken strips in a single layer without overcrowding.
  5. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with cooking spray.
  6. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. While chicken cooks, whisk together sweet chili sauce, honey (if using), rice vinegar, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Adjust sweetness and heat to taste.
  8. Toss the warm crispy chicken strips gently in the sweet chili sauce until evenly coated but not soggy.
  9. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds until pliable.
  10. Lay out tortillas and spread a spoonful of Greek yogurt in the center. Add shredded lettuce, carrots, cucumber slices, and several sauced chicken strips. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
  11. Fold the sides over and roll tightly from one end to the other. Serve immediately for best crunch.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness. Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Spray oil lightly but evenly. Flip chicken halfway through cooking. Warm tortillas properly to avoid cracking. For extra juicy chicken, marinate strips in buttermilk for 30 minutes before breading. If no air fryer, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
