Ingredients

To create our fantastic Chicken Mozzarella Wraps Recipe, we rely on a handful of simple yet vibrant ingredients. The real star of the show is the beautifully seasoned chicken paired with the incredible cheese pull from fresh mozzarella. Here is everything you will need:

• 4 large tortilla wraps
• 500g skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced into 2-3cm pieces
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 150g fresh mozzarella ball, torn or sliced
• 75g mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp tomato purée
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 large tomato, diced
• A large handful of shredded iceberg lettuce or mixed greens

Instructions

Are you ready to assemble the most delicious chicken mozzarella wraps? Let’s dive right in. We’ve outlined the process in these straightforward steps to guide you.

1. Season the Chicken: In a medium-sized bowl, add your diced chicken breast pieces. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle over the smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated in the flavourful seasoning.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown, cooked through, and has a lovely crust. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce and Fillings: While the chicken is cooking, you can get your other components ready. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and tomato purée until you have a smooth, pinkish sauce. Prepare your salad by washing and shredding the lettuce, dicing the tomato, and thinly slicing the red onion.
4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread a tablespoon or two of the tomato-mayo sauce over the centre of the wrap. Top with a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by the diced tomatoes and sliced red onion.
5. Add Chicken and Cheese: Spoon a quarter of the cooked chicken pieces over the salad. Finally, generously top the chicken with the torn or sliced fresh mozzarella. This is the key to getting those irresistible, cheesy mozzarella wraps.
6. Fold the Wraps: To fold, tuck in the sides of the tortilla first. Then, tightly roll the wrap from the bottom up, ensuring all the fillings are securely enclosed. This ‘burrito-style’ fold will prevent any of the delicious contents from escaping while it toasts.
7. Toast for the Perfect Finish: Carefully place the folded wrap, seam-side down, back into the warm frying pan (you can wipe it clean first if needed). Toast over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the mozzarella inside has completely melted. You can press it down gently with a spatula to help it toast evenly.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wrap in half on a diagonal to reveal the beautiful layers inside. Serve immediately while it’s warm and the cheese is wonderfully gooey.

Air Fryer Method

If you’re after an extra crunchy exterior, we highly recommend making these as air fryer chicken wraps. Once you’ve assembled and folded them according to steps 4-6, just pop them into your air fryer basket, making sure the seam is facing down. Air fry them at 190°C (375°F) for about 5-7 minutes, turning them over halfway through, until they are beautifully golden and crisp. The air fryer works wonders for that perfect crunch!

Tips for Success

• Give the chicken space: When cooking the chicken, ensure it’s in a single layer in the pan. This helps it to sear and develop a lovely golden-brown crust instead of just steaming. Cook in two batches if your pan isn’t large enough.
• Opt for fresh mozzarella: While pre-grated is fine in a pinch, a ball of fresh mozzarella offers a far superior, creamier melt and a richer flavour that takes these wraps to the next level.
• Gently warm your tortillas: Popping them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds makes them softer and more pliable, which helps prevent them from tearing as you fold them.
• Make it your own: This chicken wraps recipe is a brilliant canvas for your own culinary creations. Why not add some sliced avocado, roasted peppers, or sweetcorn? You could also exchange the sauce for pesto or a spicy mayo. For another delicious filling idea, our Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken Tenders would be absolutely divine chopped up in a wrap!
