Ingredients for Chicken Caesar Wraps
Chicken and Seasonings
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Breading Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup neutral oil (vegetable, olive, or avocado oil)
Salad Components
- 1 large head of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup croutons
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
Wraps
- 4 extra-large burrito-sized wraps
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
First, slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thinner pieces. Then, pound each piece to about 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking.
Set Up Dipping Stations
Next, set up three bowls. In the first, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In the second, whisk the eggs. In the third, mix the panko breadcrumbs with grated parmesan cheese.
Coat the Chicken
Now, coat each chicken piece in the flour mixture, dip it in the egg wash, and then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook two chicken pieces at a time for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine, croutons, shredded parmesan, and Caesar dressing. Toss everything together to ensure the salad is evenly coated.
Assemble the Wraps
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix it with the salad. Place the mixture in the center of each wrap, roll tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately for a delightful meal!
