Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Wrap and Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon ranch dressing
  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 1 slice cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it reaches the right temperature to crisp the chicken strips after baking.
  2. Prepare the chicken breast: Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and slice horizontally to get two thinner pieces for even cooking.
  3. Heat oil in skillet: Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet to prepare for searing the chicken.
  4. Season the chicken: Sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for well-rounded flavor.
  5. Sear the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken in the hot skillet and cook 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Rest the chicken: Remove cooked chicken from skillet and let rest for a few minutes to retain juicy tenderness before slicing.
  7. Prepare dredging stations: On separate shallow plates, place flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs to coat the chicken strips later.
  8. Slice the chicken: Cut the rested chicken into strips that will be breaded and baked.
  9. Coat chicken strips: Dredge each strip first in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally press into panko breadcrumbs for a crispy coating.
  10. Bake the strips: Arrange breaded chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden.
  11. Assemble the wrap: Lay out the flour tortilla, spread ranch dressing evenly in the center, then place a slice of cheddar cheese on top.
  12. Add chicken and veggies: Remove crispy chicken from the oven, let cool slightly, then place strips over the cheese, followed by shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
  13. Roll the wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose all ingredients securely.
  14. Serve: Enjoy your crispy chicken ranch snack wrap immediately while warm and flavorful.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety and juiciness.
  • For extra crispiness, you can spray the breaded chicken strips lightly with cooking oil before baking.
  • Use freshly shredded lettuce and ripe tomatoes for best texture and flavor contrast.
  • This wrap can be customized with additional toppings like sliced avocado or crispy bacon if desired.
  • Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
