Ingredients
For the Chicken
2 medium chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g)
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
1 egg, beaten
Salt & black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Wraps
4 large flour tortillas
3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
½ cup Caesar dressing (store‑bought or homemade)
½ cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or shredded
½ cup croutons, slightly crushed
Optional: sliced cherry tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) or air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Dip chicken breasts in beaten egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture.
Bake for 18–20 minutes (or air fry for 12–14 minutes), flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
Let rest, then slice into strips.
Step 2:Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas slightly for flexibility.
In a bowl, toss lettuce with Caesar dressing until lightly coated.
Lay out tortillas. Add lettuce mixture, sliced chicken, Parmesan, and crushed croutons.
Roll tightly into a wrap, tucking in sides as you go.
Step 3: Serve
Slice wraps in half and serve immediately.
Notes & Tips
Extra crunch: Add cucumber slices or shredded cabbage.
Lighter option: Use grilled chicken instead of breaded.
Meal prep: Store components separately; assemble just before eating to keep wraps crunchy.
Dressing tip: Use a yogurt‑based Caesar for a lighter version.
