Recipe: Crispy Chicken Wrap in Air Fryer

Ingredients (4 servings)

Crispy Chicken:

• 2 chicken fillets
• 1 dl (½ cup) panko breadcrumbs
• ½ dl (¼ cup) grated parmesan (optional but adds extra flavor)
• 1 tsp paprika powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp oil or cooking spray

For the Wraps:

• 4 large tortilla wraps
• 1 dl (½ cup) crème fraîche or Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• ½ tsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 handful of mixed salad greens
• 1 tomato, sliced
• ½ red onion, thinly sliced
• ½ cucumber, cut into sticks

Instructions

1. Crispy Chicken in Air Fryer

1. Slice the chicken fillets lengthwise to create four thinner pieces.
2. Beat the egg in a bowl.
3. In another bowl, mix panko, parmesan, paprika powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Dip the chicken first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. Press firmly so the coating sticks well.
5. Place the chicken in the air fryer without overlapping. Spray lightly with oil.
6. Cook at 200°C (400°F) for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through.

2. Sauce

1. Mix crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

3. Assembly

1. Spread the sauce on the tortilla wraps.
2. Add salad greens, tomato, red onion, and cucumber.
3. Slice the crispy chicken and place it on top.
4. Roll up the wraps and wrap them in parchment paper or foil for easy transport.

Wine Pairing: Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir

A crispy chicken wrap with honey mustard sauce pairs well with a fresh white wine or a light red wine.

• Sauvignon Blanc from Loire or New Zealand

  • Fruity notes of citrus, gooseberry, and herbs enhance the flavors of the wrap.

• Pinot Noir, preferably slightly chilled

  • A soft and berry-forward red wine with fresh acidity balances the crispiness of the chicken and the sweetness of the sauce.

Perfect for a Picnic

This wrap is easy to prepare and convenient to bring along. Wrap it in foil or parchment paper, pack a cooler with wine, and enjoy a delicious outdoor meal.
