Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Cheez-It crackers
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 piece egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup ranch or preferred dressing
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the Cheez-It crackers in a resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or food processor to crush them into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin, even strips to ensure they cook evenly.
Season the chicken strips with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken strip first into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the Cheez-It crumbs. Press the crumbs gently onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Place the coated chicken strips onto the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden, crispy, and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas in a clean dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Lay each tortilla flat and layer with one lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and 2-3 pieces of the grilled chicken strips.
Drizzle with ranch dressing or your preferred wrap dressing.
Roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap, tucking in the edges as you roll.
Slice the wraps in half diagonally for easy serving.
Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side, if desired.
