Ingredients
  

Crispy Chicken Layer
  • 1 medium chicken breast butterflied, room temperature
  • ½ cup flour GF or regular
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs GF if needed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 medium egg beaten
  • 4 strips bacon thick cut is preferred
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
For The Wraps
  • 2 burrito size tortillas flour or corn
  • 2 medium tomatoes sliced
  • ½ red onion sliced, or white onion
  • 2-3 leaves Romaine lettuce or other leafy green lettuce
  • 2-4 slices Cheddar cheese shredded, or Monterey, Provolone
  • cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Avocado Spread
  • 2 medium avocado mashed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or sub cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt or kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Mash avocados until smooth with a few chunks left. Drizzle lime or lemon juice to prevent browning.
    2 medium avocado
  2. Add sour cream, parsley, salt & pepper, garlic powder. Mix to combine, and set aside.
    1 pinch fine sea salt or kosher salt, 1 tablespoon sour cream, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  3. Line up 3 bowls: flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    ½ cup flour, ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 medium egg, 1 pinch fine sea salt or kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  4. Slice chicken breasts lengthwise and lay them on a flat surface like a wooden cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and pound on both sides.
  5. Coat each chicken piece in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs, ensuring thorough coating, especially at the last stage.
    ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 medium chicken breast
  6. Heat a medium to large skillet over high heat. Cook bacon to your preferred crispiness. Set aside. Use kitchen tongs to carefully place the breaded chicken in the same skillet with bacon fat. Add more cooking oil if necessary.
    1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  7. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through the center. Set aside on a plate with paper towels to drain. Before adding to the wrap slice it against the grain. To assemble the wraps, spread about 2 heaping tablespoons of avocado crema in the center of each tortilla.

  8. Layer with salad, tomatoes, onions, bacon, mozzarella cheese, add the chicken, and top with cheese slices, leaving a couple of inches free around the edges. Fold in the sides almost until the middle, leaving a couple of inches free with the filling peeking through.
    4 strips bacon, 2 medium tomatoes, ½ red onion, 2-3 leaves Romaine lettuce, ⅔ cups mozzarella cheese, 2-4 slices Cheddar cheese
  9. Holding the sides folded, bring up the bottom flap over the filling and roll tightly to secure the wrap, aiming for a tightly rolled-up presentation.
  10. Transfer the chicken wraps to a dry skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Warm them until they become golden brown. I usually leave the wraps for about 3-5 minutes under a closed lid, flipping the sides as needed.
  11. Remove from the pan, cut in half, and drizzle the wraps with lemon juice.
    1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
  12. Add sour cream, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve while warm. Enjoy your crispy chicken wraps for a quick lunch or dinner.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 2 burrito-sized wraps, which you can serve for 2 as a proper meal (with or without simple salad or chips) or as 4 smaller servings. 
  • Chicken - choose between medium chicken breasts or chicken tenders. For a quick lunch, use any leftover cooked or rotisserie chicken instead.
  • Flour - use all purpose or any good gluten-free blend such as Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur Measure to Measure.
  • Make it Low-Carb and Healthy! Skip the tortillas, throw all the filling ingredients in a bowl over some lettuce, and make a crispy chicken salad.
