Instructions
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko mixed with feta, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Chicken
Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, dip into the egg, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to help the coating stick.
Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces for 4–5 minutes per side until golden, crispy, and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Make the Hot Honey
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the honey. Stir in chili flakes and lemon juice or hot sauce. Set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add herbs if using. Adjust thickness with a little water if needed.
Warm the Flatbread
Lightly heat the flatbreads in a pan or oven until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Wraps
Layer lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion on each flatbread. Add the crispy chicken, drizzle generously with hot honey, then finish with the garlic yogurt sauce.
Wrap and Serve
Fold or roll the flatbread tightly and serve immediately while the chicken is still crispy.
