Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken tenders
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• 4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
• ½ cup ranch dressing
• Vegetable oil for frying

How to Make Crispy Chicken Wraps

1. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
2. Set up a breading station: In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
3. Dredge the chicken: Coat each chicken tender in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
4. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Fry the chicken: Carefully add the breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Drain and cool: Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Assemble the wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat, add a handful of shredded romaine lettuce, place 2-3 crispy chicken tenders on top, and drizzle with ranch dressing.
8. Wrap it up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
9. Serve: Cut the wraps in half if desired and enjoy immediately!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crunch, consider using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying; otherwise, the chicken may absorb too much oil.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying; this ensures even cooking and crispiness.
• If you prefer baking, you can place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking oil, then bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the ranch dressing for blue cheese dressing or a spicy sriracha mayo for a kick.
• Add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or shredded cheese for extra flavor and texture.
• Use grilled chicken instead of fried for a healthier option.
• Try different wraps like spinach or whole wheat tortillas for a twist.

What to Serve With It

• Sweet potato fries or regular fries for a classic side.
• A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Coleslaw for a crunchy side dish.

Store any leftover chicken tenders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Assembled wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for a few hours; just be cautious as the tortillas may become soggy from the dressing.
