Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips for even cooking. Season the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until they are thoroughly beaten for coating the chicken.
Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and again into the flour for a double coating. This will ensure a crispy texture when fried.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully add the chicken strips and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side). Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
While the chicken is cooling slightly, prepare the vegetables. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion.
To make a creamy dressing, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat, and place a few lettuce leaves in the center. Add a layer of fried chicken strips, some tomato slices, and a few onion rings.
Drizzle the prepared Greek yogurt dressing over the filling and roll up the wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
Repeat the assembly process for the other wraps and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
