Ingredients

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1/2 cup Caesar dressing, plus extra for serving
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken strips dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Set up the breading station: Place the flour in one shallow bowl, the beaten eggs in a second, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.
3. Bread the chicken: Dredge each strip in flour, dip in egg, then coat evenly in panko, pressing gently so the crumbs stick.
4. Fry until golden: Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
5. Slice the chicken: Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes, then slice into strips.
6. Dress the romaine: Toss the chopped romaine with the Caesar dressing and lemon juice until lightly coated.
7. Build the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat, add a layer of dressed romaine, top with sliced crispy chicken, and sprinkle generously with Parmesan.
8. Roll and serve: Fold in the sides, roll up tightly, and slice in half on a diagonal. Serve with extra Caesar dressing and Parmesan on the side.

Pro tip: For extra crunch, warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet before filling so they roll without cracking, and slice the wraps just before serving so the coating stays crisp.
