Why You’ll Love This Chicken Caesar Wrap

Ingredients

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: The star protein. Slice them thin for quick cooking and easy wrapping.
  
• All-Purpose Flour: It’s used for dredging the chicken to create a light coating that helps the egg wash adhere.
  
• Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  
• Large Eggs: They act as the glue to bind the crispy Panko-Parmesan coating to the chicken.
  
• Panko Breadcrumbs: Japanese-style breadcrumbs create a crunchy coating without getting soggy.
  
• Grated Parmesan Cheese: It’s mixed into the panko for a nutty, salty flavor.
  
• Olive Oil: Use it for pan-frying the breaded chicken cutlets.
  
• Romaine Lettuce: The classic foundation for Caesar salad. It’s crisp, refreshing, and sturdy enough to stand up to the dressing.
  
• Croutons: Crunchy and flavorful, they add texture and a burst of flavor to the wrap.
  
• Caesar Dressing: This creamy, tangy, and savory dressing is the quintessential flavor of Caesar salad.
  
• Large Burrito-Size Flour Tortillas: The perfect vehicle to contain all the components of the Caesar salad.

How to Make a Chicken Caesar Wrap

These wraps seem fancy, but they’re surprisingly easy to throw together.

Tips for the Best Chicken Caesar Wrap

Follow these tips to make your wraps more incredible!

• Take a shortcut. Use shredded rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken breast instead of breaded cutlets for a quicker prep.
  
• Amp up the crunch. Add halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, or shredded carrots for more crunch and flavor.
  
• Get super cheesy. Mix grated Parmesan into the panko breading and romaine salad for extra cheesy flavor.
  
• Get dipping. Serve extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping the wrap halves.
  
• Make it a true sandwich. Stuff the filling into hoagie rolls, ciabatta, or pita pockets instead of tortillas for a heartier sandwich.
