🛒 What You’ll Need
🐔 For the Crispy Chicken:

1 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
Oil for frying (or bake/air fry for a lighter option)
🌯 For the Caesar Wrap:
4 large flour tortillas or wraps
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
¼ cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Optional: croutons (for extra crunch), cherry tomatoes (for freshness)
🍟 For the Parmesan Fries:
4 large russet potatoes (or use frozen fries for convenience)

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Crispy Chicken
Marinate
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add your chicken pieces and marinate for at least 20 minutes (overnight is even better for flavor).
Bread & Cook
Set up your breading station:
Bowl 1: flour
Bowl 2: beaten eggs
Bowl 3: panko breadcrumbs
Dredge each piece of marinated chicken in flour → egg → panko, pressing the breadcrumbs in gently to coat.
Frying Option:
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
Baking Option:
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Air Fryer Option:
Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
🔥 Pro Tip: Let fried chicken rest on a wire rack to stay crispy.
2️⃣ Make the Parmesan Fries
Prep the Potatoes
Wash and slice the potatoes into fries (peeling is optional). Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch — this helps make them extra crispy.
Season & Bake
Drain and pat dry the fries. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through for even crisping.
Add Parmesan & Herbs
As soon as the fries come out of the oven, toss them with Parmesan and parsley. Drizzle with truffle oil if you’re feeling fancy!
3️⃣ Assemble the Caesar Wrap
Build Your Wrap
Lay a flour tortilla flat. Add a layer of chopped romaine, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, crispy chicken (sliced or whole), shredded Parmesan, and any extras like cherry tomatoes or croutons.
Wrap & Serve
Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly like a burrito. Cut in half on the diagonal for that irresistible café-style look.
Plate with a side of Parmesan fries and enjoy!
🍴 Serving Ideas
Pair with a cold sparkling lemonade or iced tea
Add bacon bits or avocado to the wrap for extra indulgence
Swap in grilled chicken or a plant-based cutlet for a lighter or vegetarian version
🧊 Storage Tips
Chicken: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
Wraps: Best assembled fresh, but you can pre-prep ingredients and wrap when ready.
Fries: Keep in the fridge for 2–3 days and reheat in a hot oven to revive crispness.
