Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts (sliced into 4 thin cutlets)

Salt and black pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper

2 eggs

Splash of water

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes (keep some texture — don't pulverize)

Pinch of salt

Avocado oil for frying

3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 anchovy fillets (or 3 if you're an anchovy fan...I am)

1 garlic clove

1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Salt and black pepper

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan

1/3 cup honey

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne (adjust to taste)

1/2 tsp chili flakes

2 large flour tortillas

8 romaine heart leaves

Extra grated Parmesan

Directions

Make the Parmesan Crisps: Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle Parmesan in thin circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 5–7 minutes until melted and golden. Cool completely, then break into shards. Set aside.

Make the Hot Honey: Warm honey slightly in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in paprika, cayenne, and chili flakes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Caesar Dressing: Add Greek yogurt, anchovy fillets, garlic, Parmesan, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if you want a slightly thinner consistency.

Prep the Chicken: Place each chicken cutlet between two pieces of parchment and pound with a rolling pin until 1/4 inch thick — this is important for even frying. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Set Up the Breading Station: Set out three shallow bowls: (1) seasoned flour, (2) egg wash, (3) cornflake and panko mixture. Dredge each cutlet through flour, then egg, then press firmly into the crumb mixture. Pack the coating on (don't be shy).

Cook the Chicken:There's two ways to do this: 1) Pan-fry (best texture): Heat a shallow layer of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.2) Air fryer option: Spray coated chicken lightly with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and cooked through.

Build the Wraps: Warm tortillas slightly. Layer in this order: romaine leaves, Caesar dressing, 2 chicken cutlets, a generous drizzle of hot honey, Parmesan crisps, extra grated Parmesan, and a final drizzle of Caesar.

Roll tightly and serve immediately.
