Description
These Chicken Snack Wraps are a copycat McDonald's recipe that are packed full of protein and flavor. Crispy Chicken meets creamy ranch, cheese and lettuce inside of a tortilla for a quick lunch or snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, about 1 lb
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 and 1/2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs (preferably plain, but Italian is okay too)
- 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 6 taco sized 6" flour tortillas
- 6 tablespoons ranch dressing, store-bought or this homemade Greek Yogurt Ranch
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded from the block
- 1 cup romaine heart lettuce, chopped fine
Instructions
- If making my homemade greek yogurt ranch, start with that recipe first. Trim the chicken breast and cut each breast into 3 similar sized strips, 6 total. Cover the breasts with plastic wrap and use a kitchen mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken into even thickness.
- Season the chicken breast with half of the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Prepare 3 bowls for breading. Bowl 1: Add in flour. Bowl 2: Whisk Eggs. Bowl 3: Add the rest of the seasoning into the Panko Breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
- Dunk each chicken tender into flour, egg, then Panko mixture. Transfer to a plate.
- Add oil into the skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken tenders without overlapping them and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Warm up the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or wrap in foil and heat in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes. To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing onto the center section of the tortilla. Top with one chicken tender, a sprinkle of cheese and lettuce. Then, close them up and seal with a toothpick.
- Serve with extra ranch on the side, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the oil is really hot before adding the chicken. To test, toss a panko crumb into the oil and look for immediate sizzling as soon as it hits the oil. Once this happens, it's ready for the chicken.
- Use an internal thermometer to check that each chicken piece reaches 165 degrees before removing it from the pan.
