Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 2 large chicken breasts ~1.5 lbs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup neutral oil vegetable, olive, or avocado oil
For the Salad:
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
For the Wraps:
  • 4 extra-large burrito wraps

Method
 

1. Prepare the Chicken:
  1. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four thinner pieces.
  2. Pound the chicken pieces to ¼-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
2. Set Up Coating Station:
  1. In one bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
  3. In a third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
3. Coat the Chicken:
  1. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  2. Dip into the whisked eggs, letting excess drip off.
  3. Press into the breadcrumb mixture, covering the chicken entirely.
4. Cook the Chicken:
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry the chicken in batches, cooking 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Make the Caesar Salad:
  1. In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, croutons, shredded Parmesan, and Caesar dressing. Toss until well coated.
6. Slice the Chicken:
  1. Once slightly cooled, slice the chicken into bite-sized strips. Add to the salad and toss to combine.
7. Assemble the Wraps:
  1. Lay a burrito wrap flat and place a generous amount of the chicken Caesar mixture in the center.
  2. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to create a wrap.
  3. Slice in half and serve.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Store the chicken, salad, and wraps separately in the refrigerator. Assemble the wraps just before serving to keep them fresh.
  • Customizations: Add crispy bacon, sliced tomatoes, or avocado for extra flavor.
  • Healthier Option: Use grilled chicken instead of fried chicken to cut down on calories.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat the chicken in the oven or air fryer to maintain its crispiness.
