how to make Chicken Caesar Wrap

Ingredients:

• 1 lb thinly sliced boneless chicken breast
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup mayo
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsps anchovy paste
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 heads of romaine lettuce (chopped)
• Oil for frying chicken
• 4 large 12″ tortillas or burritos

Step-By-Step Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in another shallow dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
3. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and coat it in the breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Fry the chicken breasts in the skillet for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest. While resting, make the Caesar dressing by whisking together minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and anchovy paste. Mix in the mayo and then add Parmesan cheese. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
7. To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing on it. Add chopped romaine lettuce, sliced chicken, and grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go.
9. Sear the wraps on high heat for 1 minute on each side. Slice and serve.

tips to make Chicken Caesar Wrap

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken. This helps ensure it cooks evenly and gets crispy.
• Feel free to customize the wrap with other veggies, like tomatoes or cucumbers, to add more freshness.
• If you want a lighter version, you can grill the chicken instead of frying it.

variation

You can substitute the chicken with grilled shrimp or tofu for a different protein option. You can also try adding different cheeses, like feta or gouda, for a new flavor twist.
