Ingredients
  

Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
  • 1 lb Chicken breast cutlets or tenderloins pounded into even ½-inch thickness
  • 1 cup Japanese panko breadcrumbs for maximum shatteringly crisp crunch
  • ⅓ cup Grated Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Smoked Spanish paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Coarse kosher salt & black pepper to season
  • 2 large Eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil spray for air frying or pan searing
Caesar Salad Filling & Dressing
  • 4 cups Crisp romaine lettuce washed, dried thoroughly, and chopped into bite-sized shreds
  • ½ cup Creamy garlic Caesar dressing quality store-bought or homemade with lemon & garlic
  • ½ cup Shaved aged Parmesan cheese ribbons for bold salty umami
  • ¾ cup Garlic butter croutons lightly crushed for texture in every bite
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice brightens the greens
  • ½ teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
Wraps & Assembly
  • 4 large (10-12 inch) Burrito-size flour tortillas warmed slightly for pliability
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or oil for optional skillet panini toasting

Method
 

Cook the Crispy Chicken
  1. In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Dip chicken cutlets into beaten egg, then press firmly into the seasoned panko until generously coated on both sides.
  2. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes (flipping halfway and lightly misting with oil) or pan-sear in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side until golden brown, ultra-crispy, and reaching 165°F (74°C) internally. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into ½-inch strips.
Toss the Caesar Salad
  1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped crisp romaine lettuce with creamy Caesar dressing, fresh lemon juice, shaved Parmesan cheese ribbons, cracked black pepper, and lightly crushed garlic croutons until every leaf is evenly coated.
Assemble & Roll the Wraps
  1. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds or on a dry skillet for 10 seconds until soft and pliable. Lay each tortilla flat on a clean workstation. Place a generous mound of dressed Caesar salad in the center, top with warm crispy chicken strips, and sprinkle with extra shaved Parmesan.
  2. Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then tuck the bottom edge tightly up and over. Roll forward firmly burrito-style, keeping the roll tight and compact so it holds together seamlessly.
Optional Skillet Toast & Serve
  1. For the ultimate restaurant-style finish, place the rolled wraps seam-side down in a lightly buttered medium-hot skillet for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and toasted crisp. Slice in half on a sharp diagonal and serve immediately with extra Caesar dipping sauce and lemon wedges!
