Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • Neutral oil for frying (e.g., avocado, canola)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup creamy Caesar dressing
  • 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first, mix flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In the second, place beaten eggs. In the third, place panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Pat chicken strips dry with paper towels. Dredge each strip first in the seasoned flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally press firmly into the panko to coat evenly. Place on a plate.
  3. Heat about 0.5 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a breadcrumb sizzles immediately. Fry chicken in a single layer, not crowding the pan, for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  4. Warm tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make pliable.
  5. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing down the center of each tortilla. Top with a handful of romaine lettuce, 3-4 warm chicken strips, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Serve immediately, optionally sliced in half.

Notes

For a lighter version, bake or air fry the breaded chicken at 425°F for 15-18 minutes. To prevent soggy wraps, drain chicken well and assemble just before eating. Components can be stored separately for meal prep.
