# Instructions:
01 -
Cut 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. This is the flavorful core for your Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps | Quick Dinner.
02 -
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Spray the basket with cooking spray. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer and air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
03 -
While the chicken cooks, prepare the zesty creamy drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp hot sauce (if using). This adds a bright kick to your Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps | Quick Dinner.
04 -
Lay out 4 large (8-10 inch) flour tortillas. Spread a thin layer of the zesty drizzle on each. Divide the cooked chicken and 1 cup shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly among the tortillas. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom.
05 -
Spray the air fryer basket again with cooking spray. Place 2 assembled wraps seam-side down in the air fryer, ensuring they don't touch. Air fry at 375°F for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining wraps.
06 -
Carefully remove the hot Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps | Quick Dinner from the air fryer. Slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately with 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, and a sprinkle of 2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro.
# Notes:
01 -
For a spicier kick, increase the hot sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning. You can also swap chicken breast for boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
02 -
These wraps are fantastic on their own, but also pair well with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple green salad.
03 -
The seasoned chicken can be prepped a day ahead. Leftover wraps are best reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to regain crispness.
04 -
Feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend for a different flavor profile in your wraps.
