Why You Will Love This Recipe
Growing up, my Italian grandmother always made the best chicken parmesan. The aroma of breaded chicken, simmering tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella would fill the house. Air Fryer Chicken Mozzarella Wraps capture that same comforting essence, but in a fraction of the time and with a lighter, healthier twist. It’s a way to keep those cherished flavors alive in my everyday life.
Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the surface.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: Place 1/4 of the cooked chicken on top of the marinara sauce. Top with mozzarella slices.
- Air Fry the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll up the wrap. Place the wraps in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Slice in half and serve Air Fryer Chicken Mozzarella Wraps immediately.
