Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 ripe avocados, sliced

1 cup shredded lettuce (choose between romaine or iceberg)

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 medium tomato, diced

4 large tortillas (whole wheat or spinach)

1/4 cup ranch dressing (or your preferred dressing)

Juice of 1 lime

Olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to infuse flavor into the chicken.

      Coat the Chicken: Create a breading station by setting up three shallow dishes. Place the flour in one, beat the eggs in a second dish, and spread the panko breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour first, shaking off the excess. Next, dip them in the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally coat them in panko breadcrumbs. Press down firmly to ensure an even and thorough coating.

        Cook the Chicken: Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F is ideal). Alternatively, you can bake the chicken on the lined baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking.

          Slice the Chicken: After cooking, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes on a cutting board. Then, slice it into strips for easy layering in your wraps.

            Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about a tablespoon of ranch dressing down the center of the tortilla. Layer with a handful of shredded lettuce, a few slices of avocado, some sliced chicken strips, red onion, and diced tomato. Finish by squeezing a little lime juice over the top for a zesty touch.

              Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring that all the delicious ingredients are snugly enclosed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

                Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for a beautiful presentation and serve with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
