# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken Coating

01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
05 - 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Assembly

11 - 4 large flour tortillas, burrito size
12 - 1.25 cups marinara sauce
13 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
14 - 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

# Method:

01 - Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thin, even cutlets of uniform thickness.
02 - Arrange three shallow dishes in sequence. Fill first with flour, beat eggs in second, and combine breadcrumbs with Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in third.
03 - Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten egg, and coat thoroughly in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
04 - Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry breaded cutlets 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
05 - Wipe out skillet and warm tortillas in dry pan or microwave until pliable and warm.
06 - Distribute 0.3 cup marinara sauce in center of each tortilla. Top with one crispy chicken cutlet, sprinkle with 0.25 cup mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon fresh basil.
07 - Fold in tortilla sides and roll up tightly from bottom to form secure wraps, keeping seam-side down.
08 - Place wraps seam-side down in skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side to crisp tortilla exterior and ensure cheese melts completely.
09 - Cut wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

  • It gives you all the flavors of chicken parmesan without the fuss of a sit-down dinner, perfect for eating on the couch or in the car.

  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps in under five minutes when hunger strikes hard.

02 -
  • Do not skip drying the chicken after slicing, any moisture will prevent the breading from sticking and you will end up with sad, patchy cutlets.
  • If the oil is not hot enough, the breading absorbs grease and turns soggy instead of crispy, test with a breadcrumb and it should sizzle immediately.
  • Overfilling the wraps makes them impossible to seal, use restraint and save extra toppings for a second round.
03 -
  • Press the breadcrumb coating firmly onto the chicken with your palms to create a thicker, crunchier crust that stays put during frying.
  • Let the assembled wraps rest seam-side down for a minute before crisping them in the skillet, it helps seal the edges naturally.
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the wraps cleanly without squishing out the filling, it is the secret to a perfect presentation.
