Method

The chicken

  1. Step 1

    Begin by butterflying the chicken breast (1 breast) open and cutting it into two halves. Then, cut each half into 1cm strips. Place the strips in a bowl and add the ground garlic (3 g) and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Next, place the flour (50 g) in one bowl, crack the egg (1) into another and place the breadcrumbs (40 g) onto another bowl or plate. Whisk the egg, you can add a splash of milk to this to loosen it up but it's not essential. Place the chicken into the flour first, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Repeat until all of the chicken is fully coated. Leave to one side while you make the dressing.

Caesar dressing

  1. Step 1

    Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with lemon juice (20 ml), salt and pepper if needed.

  2. Step 2: To cook the chicken

    Place a large pan suitable for deep frying and fill it 2 inches in depth with oil. Heat to 180°C and fry the chicken for 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked throughout.

  3. Step 3: To assemble the wrap

    Warm your wraps (2 wraps) in a frying pan for 30 seconds on each side and then dress the lettuce (60 g) with half of the dressing. Mix until fully coated. You can add the 20g of grated cheese (20 g) here too if you like.

  4. Step 4

    Place half of the lettuce (60 g) onto each wrap and then share the fried chicken over the two wraps (2 wraps). Drizzle with the remaining dressing, roll up your wraps. Serve and enjoy.

Questions people ask

How long does crispy chicken caesar wrap take?

About 25 min from start to finish, of which 20 min is prep and 5 min is cooking. That figure is worked out from the method rather than timed with a stopwatch, so give yourself a little more the first time.

How many does it serve, and can I change that?

As written it serves 2. Use the scale control on the recipe card to change it: every quantity in the ingredients and inside the method steps updates with it. Seasoning, and anything measured in pinches or splashes, is deliberately left alone.

Can I see the ingredients in ounces and pints?

Yes. The metric and imperial switch on the recipe card converts every quantity, rounded to amounts you can actually weigh or measure rather than to four decimal places. Your choice is remembered for every recipe on the site.
