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

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Mash avocados until smooth with a few chunks left. Drizzle lime or lemon juice to prevent browning.
    2 medium avocado
  • 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
  • Line up 3 bowls: flour, beaten egg, and Panko 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
  • 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.
  • 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
  • Heat a medium to large skillet over high heat. Cook bacon to your preferred crispiness. Set aside. In the same skillet with bacon fat, use kitchen tongs to carefully place the breaded chicken. Add more cooking oil if necessary.
    1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Cook on high for 3-4 minutes on both sides or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through the center. Set aside on a plate with a paper towel. Spread about 2 heaping tablespoons of avocado crema in the center of each tortilla.
    2 burrito size tortillas, 2 medium avocado
  • Layer with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, bacon, mozzarella cheese, chicken, and top with cheddar 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Remove from the pan, cut in half, and drizzle the wraps with lemon juice.
    1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
  • Add sour cream, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve while warm.

NOTES

  • This recipe makes 2 burrito sized wraps which are huge enough to serve 3-4 people with a side of choice.
  • Chicken - choose between medium chicken breasts or chicken tenders. For a quick lunch, use any leftover cooked or rotisserie chicken instead.
  • Flour - any major all-purpose gluten-free blend is suitable such as Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur Measure to Measure.
  • Make it Low Carb and Healthy! Skip the tortillas and throw all the filling ingredients in a bowl over some crunchy lettuce and make a crispy chicken salad.
