Creamy Caesar dressing and a generous shower of Parmesan cheese add bursts of flavor, while a sturdy tortilla binds it all together. Let's delve into the magic of crafting the perfect crispy chicken Caesar wrap.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 large tortillas
• 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepping the Chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a shallow bowl, combine flour, onion powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then coat in the egg and finally press into the breadcrumbs to form a thick, even crust.
2. Crispy Perfection: Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Wrap It Up: Spread Caesar dressing generously on each tortilla. Top with chopped romaine lettuce. Lay the crispy chicken breasts on top, drizzle with more dressing, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly.
4. Lunchtime Bliss: Slice the wrap in half and enjoy!
