Instructions
Prepare the coating
In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, crumbled feta, Parmesan, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Set up dredging station
Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and the breadcrumb mixture in a third.
Coat the chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip into eggs, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
Cook the chicken
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook chicken strips for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Make the hot honey sauce
In a small bowl, mix honey, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Adjust heat level to taste.
Prepare yogurt drizzle
In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Assemble the wraps
Warm tortillas slightly. Add lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Top with crispy chicken.
Add sauces
Drizzle hot honey over the chicken, followed by the lemon garlic yogurt sauce.
Wrap and serve
Fold tightly into wraps and serve immediately.
Tips
Slice chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
Press coating firmly onto chicken for a crispier crust.
Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the coating.
Let cooked chicken rest briefly to keep it juicy.
Adjust hot sauce based on spice preference.
Use thick Greek yogurt for a richer drizzle.
Warm tortillas to prevent cracking.
Add sauces just before serving to avoid sogginess.
For extra crispiness, double-coat the chicken.
Variations
Use chicken tenders instead of sliced breasts.
Air fry the chicken for a lighter option.
Swap feta with goat cheese for a tangy twist.
Add avocado slices for creaminess.
Use whole wheat wraps for a healthier option.
Add pickles for extra crunch and acidity.
Make it spicy with chili flakes in the coating.
Use naan or pita instead of tortillas.
Try a garlic honey sauce instead of hot honey.
Add shredded cabbage for extra texture.
