Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or your choice)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½-inch for consistent cooking.

        - Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, ensuring an even distribution of spices.

          Coat the Chicken:

            - Set up a three-part breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish, pour the beaten eggs into a second dish, and spread the panko bread crumbs in a third dish.

              - Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, immerse it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken generously with panko breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly to help them stick.

                Bake the Chicken:

                  - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. If needed, cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

                    - When both sides are golden, transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet and continue baking in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is crispy.

                      Prepare the Filling:

                        - While the chicken is baking, prepare your wrap fillings. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt or sour cream with lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and set aside.

                          Assemble the Wraps:

                            - On a clean surface, lay out a whole wheat tortilla. Spread a generous spoonful of the lime yogurt mixture in the center of the tortilla.

                              - Layer in a handful of mixed greens, followed by slices of avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.

                                - Once the chicken is finished cooking, slice it into strips and place on top of the vegetable layers in each tortilla.

                                  Wrap it Up:

                                    - Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to securely enclose all the delicious fillings. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the wrap together.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Cut the wraps in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Serve with extra lime yogurt on the side for dipping, and enjoy your flavorful, crispy chicken avocado wraps!
