Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup Caesar dressing

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup croutons

Extra grated Parmesan for garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season them generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on both sides for an extra layer of flavor.

    Coat the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are lightly coated on both sides. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to ensure a thorough coating.

      Bake the Chicken: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. To ensure it’s fully cooked, check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.

        Prepare the Salad: While the chicken is baking, grab a large bowl and toss together the chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, halved cherry tomatoes, and croutons. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

          Assemble the Wraps: Once the chicken is done, allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips. On each tortilla, place a generous portion of the Caesar salad mixture in the center. Top with several strips of the crispy chicken for added protein and crunch.

            Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla towards the center, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to encapsulate the fillings. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.

              Serve and Enjoy: To present, slice each wrap in half diagonally for a beautiful display of the colorful ingredients. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, and enjoy your delightful Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps!
