Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 lb thinly sliced boneless chicken breast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 cup flour
For the Caesar Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsps anchovy paste
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 heads of romaine lettuce
- oil for frying the chicken
- 4 large 12″ tortillas or burritos
Instructions
-
Season the chicken breasts with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
-
Set up three shallow dishes: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in the third.
-
Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip in the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing to help them adhere.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
-
Fry the chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest a few minutes, then slice.
-
Make the Caesar dressing by whisking together minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and anchovy paste. Stir in mayonnaise, then fold in grated Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
To assemble, lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of the Caesar dressing. Top with chopped romaine, sliced chicken, and extra Parmesan if desired.
-
Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a secure wrap.
-
Optional: sear the assembled wraps in a hot, lightly oiled skillet for about 1 minute per side to crisp the exterior. Slice in half and serve immediately.
