🧄 1/2 tsp garlic powder
🌿 1/2 tsp Italian herb seasoning
🥚 2 eggs, whisked
🍞 80g Italian breadcrumbs seasoned with a dash of the spices above
🍅 50g pizza sauce or marinara sauce (e.g., Divina Pizza Sauce), divided
🧀 40g light grated mozzarella
🌿 A sprinkle of dried basil
🌯 1 Xtreme Wellness large tortilla
🌯 1 small tortilla
🍳 Light cooking oil spray

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

• Place the chicken fillets between two sheets of parchment paper.
• Use a meat tenderizer to flatten the chicken evenly.

2- Season the Chicken:

• Sprinkle both sides of the flattened fillets with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian herb seasoning.

3- Bread the Chicken:

• Dip each fillet into the whisked eggs, ensuring complete coverage.
• Generously coat the egg-dipped chicken in the seasoned Italian breadcrumbs.

4- Cook the Chicken:

• Place the breaded fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray with cooking oil.
• Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 14-16 minutes, flipping and spraying oil halfway through to achieve even crispness.

5- Assemble the Crunchwrap:

• Warm the large tortilla and spread 25g of pizza sauce in the center.
• Place one crispy chicken fillet on the sauce, and top with another 25g of pizza sauce.
• Sprinkle with mozzarella and dried basil.
• Top with the second chicken fillet and cover with the small tortilla.
• Fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling to form a hexagonal crunchwrap.

6- Toast the Crunchwrap:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap sealed-side down to toast and seal.
• Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

7- Serve:

• Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with your favorite sauce.
