Ingredients
For the Crispy Chicken
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
½ cup feta cheese, finely crumbled
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper
Oil for frying
For the Hot Honey
¼ cup honey
1 tsp chili flakes
½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
For the Spicy Garlic Yogurt Drizzle
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp chili flakes
Salt and black pepper
For the Wrap
4 pita breads or tortilla wraps
1 cup shredded lettuce
½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
½ cucumber, sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Prepare the Coating
In one bowl, place the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs with crumbled feta, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip into flour, then egg, and finally the breadcrumb-feta mixture. Press gently so the coating sticks well.
Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken strips for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Make the Hot Honey
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, warm the honey slightly. Stir in chili flakes and cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Prepare the Yogurt Sauce
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Wraps
Warm the pita or tortillas. Add lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Place crispy chicken on top, drizzle with hot honey, and finish with the spicy garlic yogurt sauce.
Serve
Wrap tightly and serve immediately while the chicken is hot and crispy.
Tips
Crush the Breadcrumbs Slightly for a finer, more even coating.
Use Fresh Feta for better flavor and texture in the crust.
