Ingredients you'll need for Crispy Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap
- Chicken: 200g of tenderloin or chicken breast provides the main structure. Slicing into strips ensures quick, even cooking.
- Coating (Flour, Egg, Panko): Plain Flour: Creates a dry surface for the egg to adhere to. Egg: Acts as a binder for the breadcrumbs. Panko Breadcrumbs: Larger, flakier crumbs that provide a superior crunch compared to standard breadcrumbs.
- Seasoning (Garlic Granules): Infuses the crust with savoury garlic flavour.
- Cooking Fat (Vegetable Oil): Used to fry the chicken to a golden, crispy texture.
- Base (Large Wraps): Serve as the vessel to hold all ingredients together.
- Flavour (Sweet Chilli Sauce): Adds a balance of sweetness and mild heat.
- Freshness (Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber): Provides a crisp, refreshing crunch to contrast the hot chicken.
- Cheese (Cheddar): Adds a savoury, creamy element.

minutesIngredients
200-250 g chicken tenderloins or chicken breast
1 1/2 tbsp plain flour
1 egg
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tbsp garlic granules
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large wraps
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1/2 cup cheese, grated
8 slices tomato
8 slices cucumber
handful of lettuce
Directions
- Prep the chicken: If using chicken breast, slice the chicken breasts into 1 cm thick strips. Set up three separate bowls: one for the flour, one for the beaten egg, and one for the panko breadcrumbs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the flour, and mix the garlic granules into the panko breadcrumbs. Coat each piece of chicken first in the flour, then dip it in the egg wash, and finally press it into the panko crumbs. Repeat until all the chicken is crumbed.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the crumbed chicken pieces for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they are golden and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out your wraps and drizzle 1 tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce down the centre of each. Top with 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese, the crispy chicken pieces, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber slices. Fold the sides of the wrap inward over the ingredients, roll it up tightly, cut in half, and enjoy!
Notes
- You can make the crumbed chicken tenders the day before and they can be frozen up to 2-3 months. When freezing crumbed chicken tenders, don't freeze them on top of each other. freeze them flat, so they won't be stuck together.
