👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Whisk Homemade Caesar Dressing
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, Dijon mustard, minced capers, grated garlic, anchovy paste, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill in the fridge until ready.
Bread the Chicken Cutlets
Pound the chicken breasts between parchment sheets to an even ¼-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper. In one shallow dish, beat the egg. In a second dish, mix ⅔ cup Parmesan, panko, and Italian breadcrumbs. Dip chicken into egg, then coat thoroughly in the crumb mixture.
Shallow-Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and cooked through (165°F / 74°C). Drain on paper towels, then slice into thick strips.
Toss Caesar Chicken & Greens
In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce and sliced crispy chicken cutlets with 3–4 tablespoons of the Caesar dressing and a handful of Parmesan.
Wrap & Toast Seam-Side Down
Divide the mixture across the warmed flour tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a snug wrap. Place seam-side down in a hot dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and lightly toasted.
Cut, Stand Upright & Dip
Cut each wrap diagonally in half. Spoon a generous pool of Caesar dressing onto a serving plate and stand the wrap halves upright directly in the sauce. Finish with a cascade of freshly grated Parmesan and enjoy immediately!
❄️ Storing & Reheating Leftovers
Refrigeration: Allow the dish to cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat with a small splash of water or olive oil, or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until thoroughly warmed. This preserves the delicate moisture without drying out the texture.
