Crispy chicken wraps using pan-fried chicken
This easy recipe uses my pan fried chicken breast recipe to cook the chicken. It is simply a fried breaded chicken recipe that gives you some delicious crispy chicken tenders that everyone will love. All my kids certainly do!
Depending on how many you are going to make, you may need to cook the chicken in batches so as not to crowd the pan. While you are cooking the chicken and the bacon you can start to assemble the tortillas with all the other ingredients.
In these photos, I used some spinach and rocket (rucola) leaves as a green salad, but you can, of course, use other leaves if you prefer. If you replaced them with lettuce leaves you would almost have a McDonalds McWrap copycat.
The crispy chicken goes extremely well with the salad choice of tomato, avocado and green leaves. And, of course, Hellmann’s Real Mayonaisse gives it the final touch of perfection!
If you wish to play around with this recipe you can always try and make a crispy buffalo chicken wrap by using some buffalo sauce instead of mayo. Or you could try making crispy chicken ranch wraps by using some ranch dip instead of the Hellmann’s. Or give it a Greek taste by using some tzatziki? Have a go and see how it turns out!
A Healthy Picnic Treat
These wraps are also a great healthy meal to take with you on a picnic or a road trip. But make sure you pack them tight, or you are likely to make a mess! Make sure the bottom of the wrap is tucked in to prevent any spillage!
You will need to keep them cool until you eat them, but they are great hot or cold.
If you do make them ahead to travel with, just wrap them tightly with some clingfilm to keep them fresh.
I hope you enjoy trying to make these delicious crispy chicken wraps. If you do, please let me know how you get on in the comments section below!
How to make crispy chicken wraps
Crispy Chicken Wraps
This easy recipe will show you how to make some super tasty and crunchy fried chicken wraps.
Ingredients
For the wrap
- 2 large wheat tortillas
- 1/2 tomato
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 tbsp Hellmann's Real Mayonaisse
- 2 rashers streaky bacon
- Salad leaves (here I used some spinach and rocket leaves)
For the chicken
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 egg
- Breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Slice the tomato into small wedges and the avocado into thin slices.
- Fry the bacon until the fat has rendered and you have some nice crispy bacon. At the same time prepare your chicken.
- Slice the chicken breast into thin long strips. Then dip the chicken tenders in the egg, season with salt and pepper and cover with breadcrumbs. Heat the oil in a skillet until shimmering and add the breaded chicken pieces one by one to the pan.
- Fry until golden brown on all sides, being careful not to burn them (about 5 minutes on each side, depending on how thick you have cut them).
- Prepare the tortilla: spread the mayo over the top part using the back of a spoon. Then add your ingredients, making sure to evenly distribute them, and fold the wrap. Close the bottom, and roll the tortilla tightly around the rest.
Notes
The above quantities should make two wraps. Super tasty and healthy. You will not want to buy wraps in the store again!
You can eat these wraps hot or cold.

Hi, I am looking for tasty, healthy lunches for me to take to school; however I don't have time to fry the chicken in the morning. Would I be able to fry the chicken the night before and just recook them in the oven in the morning before putting it in a wrap for school?

You can fry the chicken in the evening, prepare your wrap and keep it in the fridge overnight. No need to recook in the morning. Just eat cold. But if you want a more healthy lunch then forget the frying and try this instead: https://recipesformen.com/chicken-salad-wraps/
