Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
- 8 slices of bacon
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Set up your dredging stations: in one bowl, pour the flour; in the second, have the beaten eggs ready; in a third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until combined.
- Dredge the chicken thighs by coating them in flour, then dip them in egg, and finally roll them in the seasoned panko.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken thighs and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet, then bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through.
- While the chicken is baking, crisp the bacon in the skillet until desired doneness, then drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the wraps by tossing the romaine with Caesar dressing in a large bowl.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a pan or microwave.
- Fill each tortilla with Caesar-dressed lettuce, sliced crispy chicken, and bacon. Sprinkle with Parmesan and black pepper.
- Wrap tightly and slice in half. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
