These Crispy Caesar Chicken Wraps combine warm, crispy double-coated chicken strips with a creamy, tangy Caesar dressing and fresh greens, perfect for a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound / 450g), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten, room temperature
  • 1 cup (100g) panko breadcrumbs (Japanese brand preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Cooking oil (vegetable or light olive oil) for frying
  • ½ cup (120g) mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for added fiber)
  • 2 cups (about 85g) romaine lettuce, chopped
  • ½ cup (50g) cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • Additional grated Parmesan for topping

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 3 inches long and ½ inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika.
  3. Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg wash, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat egg and breadcrumb step once more for extra crunch.
  4. Heat about ¼ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat (about 350°F). Fry chicken strips in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. While chicken fries, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Lay out tortillas and spread a generous spoonful of Caesar dressing on each. Layer with chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes if using, and crispy chicken strips. Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top.
  7. Roll up the wraps tightly, cut diagonally, and serve immediately with extra dressing on the side.

Notes

Double coating the chicken with egg and breadcrumbs creates a thicker, longer-lasting crispy crust. Maintain medium oil temperature to avoid soggy or burnt chicken. Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking. For gluten-free, use almond flour and gluten-free panko. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with dairy-free alternatives and omit Parmesan or use vegan cheese.
