Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 large egg

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

1 large tomato, sliced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1/4 cup ranch dressing or your favorite sauce for drizzling

Instructions

Prep the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels; this step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture. Next, slice the chicken into thin strips, about 1 inch thick for even cooking.

Set Up the Breading Station: Arrange three bowls in a line. In the first bowl, combine the flour with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the egg until well mixed. Place the breadcrumbs in the third bowl.

Coat the Chicken: Take each chicken strip and first dip it into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated and shaking off any excess flour. Next, immerse it in the egg, allowing any extra to drip off, before finally rolling it in the breadcrumbs. Press down slightly to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated for the ultimate crunch.

Cook the Chicken: Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (test by sprinkling a few breadcrumbs to see if they sizzle), add the breaded chicken strips in batches. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain a proper temperature. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Wrap: Lay a large wrap flat on a clean work surface. Spread a tablespoon of ranch dressing in the center of the wrap. Layer with a handful of fresh spinach, followed by several crispy chicken strips, slices of avocado, tomato slices, and the thinly sliced red onion.

Wrap it Up: Start by folding in the sides of the wrap to contain the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards, tucking in the filling as you go. Repeat this process with the remaining wraps until all ingredients are used.

Optional Toasting Step: For an added crunch, return the assembled wraps to the skillet (without adding more oil) and toast each side for about 2 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp.

Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for a stylish presentation. Serve immediately with extra ranch dressing or your preferred dipping sauce on the side for a flavor boost.
