To Toast In The Air Fryer

  • Add the assembled chicken wraps to the clean basket of an air fryer preheated to 400°F (205C).
  • Toast for 3 to 4 minutes or until wraps are golden and toasted.
  • Depending on the size of your air fryer you may have to do this in two batches.

To Toast In A Skillet

  • Place a large skillet over low heat.
  • Spray the bottom of each chicken wrap with cooking spray and place them on the heated skillet
  • Cook for about 4 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
  • Spray the tops of the wraps and flip to cook the other side. Continue cooking until that side is golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

To cook the chicken
Start by drizzling a little olive oil into a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
Let this cook for 5 minutes (it should be slightly golden), then use tongs to flip the chicken over.
Once the chicken is flipped over, add ¾ cup of chicken broth to the pan and cover it with a lid. 
This will keep the chicken moist while cooking it fast.
Cook the chicken for another 7-10 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks or a stand mixer, and then continue with the recipe as instructed in the recipe card.
Low Carb Alternative
 
The majority of the carbs in this recipe come from the tortillas. If you would prefer to make it lower in carbs then use a low-carb alternative or wrap the chicken salad in lettuce leaves.
Storing
Allow cooked wraps to cool completely before storing.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
