Chicken Caesar Wraps
Delicious and easy-to-make Chicken Caesar Wraps featuring crispy chicken, fresh lettuce, and creamy Caesar dressing, perfect for weeknights or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs, provides the main protein)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (adds structure)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (enhances flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adds seasoning)
- 2 large eggs (binds the coating)
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs (gives crunch)
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (adds savory flavor)
- 1/4 cup neutral oil (such as vegetable, smooth olive oil, or avocado oil, for frying)
- 1 large head romaine lettuce (chopped into small pieces, adds freshness)
- 1 cup croutons (provides crunch)
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (more if desired, for flavor)
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade, adds creaminess)
- 4 extra-large burrito-sized wraps (holds everything together)
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner fillets. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Coat the chicken in all-purpose flour in a shallow dish, shaking off excess flour.
- Beat the eggs in another shallow dish. Dip the flour-coated chicken into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
- In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with grated parmesan cheese. Dredge the chicken in this mixture, pressing gently to coat.
Cooking
- Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken in a single layer.
- Cook the chicken for about 4-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and allow to rest for a few minutes.
Assembly
- Chop the romaine lettuce and prepare croutons and shredded parmesan cheese.
- Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, lettuce, croutons, and shredded parmesan. Drizzle Caesar dressing over the mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Place a generous scoop of the mixture in the center of each wrap. Fold the sides in and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
Notes
Chicken Caesar Wraps are a versatile dish great for family meals and gatherings. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For best results, allow chicken to rest before slicing and use a non-stick skillet for frying.
