Ingredients

Chicken

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style preferred)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Wrap & Fillings

• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• 1 1/4 cups marinara sauce (plus extra for serving, if desired)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets.

Step 2

Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in a second shallow dish. In a third dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in egg, and coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken cutlets 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Step 5

Wipe out the skillet.

Step 6

Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until pliable.

Step 7

Place 1/4 of the marinara sauce in the center of each tortilla. Top with a crispy chicken cutlet, sprinkle with mozzarella and fresh basil.

Step 8

Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form wraps.

Step 9

(Optional) Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side to crisp the tortillas and melt the cheese.

Step 10

Cut in half and serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Using a large skillet and shallow dishes for breading helps the process run smoothly. Be sure to drain the golden brown chicken on paper towels to maintain that signature crunch. Wiping out the skillet allows you to toast the wraps in the same pan without residual oil.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a different twist, you can substitute turkey cutlets or plant-based cutlets. You can also add sautéed spinach or roasted peppers for extra flavor and nutrients. If you like heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes in the marinara sauce works wonders.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these wraps warm, perhaps with extra marinara on the side for dipping. They pair beautifully with a light Italian salad and a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio for a complete meal experience.
