Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 6 or 8 cutlets
- 1 ½ cups seasoned bread crumbs
- ⅔ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 wraps or large tortillas
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
lemon caesar dressing
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- ½ lemon, juiced
- kosher salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to make thin chicken cutlets. You want THIN slices - ones you can almost see through! I get 3 to 4 thin slices from one chicken breast. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Place the eggs in a shallow plate or bowl. Stir together the breadcrumbs, lemon zest and parmesan in another plate or bowl.
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I like to heat the oil for a good 5 minutes before adding the chicken. Watch the heat the entire time - if it seems to be too hot, make sure to lower it!
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.
- Add the chicken 2 to 3 pieces at a time. Cook on each side until deeply golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. This should cook the chicken the entire way through, but take the temperature to make sure it is 165 degrees F inside if you’re unsure. Remove each piece of chicken and place it on the paper towel-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- This reheats great! I store mine in foil in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer until warm.
- Now it’s time to build your wrap! Heat the tortilla in the microwave for a few minutes or even the oven for 1 minute. Place a handful of lettuce in the center of the wrap. Top it with a few pieces of chicken. Drizzle on 1 to 2 tablespoons of caesar dressing. Top with parmesan cheese. Fold up the top and the bottom of the tortilla, then roll the sides in tightly to wrap it up.
- Serve with extra dressing for dipping.
lemon caesar dressing
- To make the dressing, add the garlic, yogurt, parmesan, mustard, vinegar, anchovy paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a big pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor or blender and blend until pureed. With the processor still on, stream in the olive oil until a creamy dressing forms. (This may make more dressing than needed, but you can store it sealed in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days and stir well before using.)
