For the Fresh Salad 🥗
2 cups mixed greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, or romaine)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 🍅
1 cucumber, sliced 🥒
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional) 🧅
1/4 cup olive oil (for dressing)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or lemon juice 🍋
1 tsp honey (optional for sweetness)
Salt & pepper – to taste
For the Wraps 🌯
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey (optional)
Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella, optional) 🧀
🔪 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Wedges
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them into wedges, leaving the skin on for extra texture.
In a bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden and crispy.
2️⃣ Prepare the Crispy Chicken
Set up a breading station:
In one bowl, place the flour.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip into the eggs, and coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure an even coating.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
3️⃣ Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion (if using).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice), honey (if using), and salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
4️⃣ Assemble the Wraps
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20-30 seconds per side, just until soft and pliable.
In each tortilla, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, then drizzle with a little honey if desired.
Add a handful of shredded lettuce, a few slices of crispy chicken, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese (if using).
Roll up the tortilla, folding in the edges as you go to make a tight wrap.
5️⃣ Serve
Serve the Crispy Chicken Wraps with a side of golden wedges and a fresh salad.
Enjoy your crispy, savory, and satisfying meal! 😋🌯
