These Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps combine crunchy coated chicken strips with creamy Caesar dressing and fresh romaine lettuce, wrapped in soft flour tortillas for a quick, flavorful lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or light olive oil

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips about 3 inches long and ½ inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Set up dredging stations: In one bowl, mix ½ cup flour with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. In a second bowl, beat 2 eggs. In a third bowl, combine 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat (about 350°F).
  5. Cook chicken strips in a single layer without crowding, frying 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
  6. If making dressing from scratch, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper. Add anchovy paste if desired.
  7. Rinse and chop romaine lettuce roughly.
  8. Lay out tortillas, spread 1-2 tablespoons Caesar dressing on each, add a handful of romaine, then top with 3-4 crispy chicken strips. Sprinkle extra Parmesan or crumbled bacon if using.
  9. Fold sides and roll tightly to enclose fillings. Slice diagonally if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Dry chicken strips well before coating to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature and crisp crust. For a healthier option, bake chicken strips at 425°F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway. Assemble wraps just before eating to prevent soggy tortillas. Dressing can be made ahead and stored chilled.
