Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz / 340g) Pounded to an even thickness for even cooking.
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60g) Seasoned with salt and pepper.
  • 2 large eggs Beaten.
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (100g) For crispy texture.
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30ml) For frying.

For the Wrap

  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped (about 150g) Fresh.
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25cm)
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (50g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise (80ml), preferably full-fat
  • Optional add-ins halved cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, crispy bacon bits For personalization.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Trim any fat from the chicken breasts and pound them to an even thickness if needed.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Set up three bowls: one for seasoned flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko breadcrumbs.

Cooking

  • Dip each chicken breast into the seasoned flour, then into the eggs, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Fry the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Drain on paper towels and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Assembly

  • Whisk together garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  • Drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing.
  • Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season to taste.
  • Spread dressing on each tortilla, layer with lettuce, chicken, and optional add-ins.
  • Fold and roll the tortillas tightly to seal.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat chicken in a skillet before serving.
