Total time:  
Serves: 4-6 wraps
 
Tender fried chicken and homemade ranch dressing with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado.
INGREDIENTS
Ranch Dressing
Fried Chicken
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs
  • Flour, for dredging
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup peanut oil
For the wraps
  • 4-6 wraps (I used whole wheat)
  • One dozen cherry tomatoes cut into halves
  • 1/4 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1 avocado, sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Prepare ranch dressing. You may want to make it a few hours ahead of time to let flavors blend, but it isn't necessary. Refrigerate until needed.
  2. Slice tomatoes and avocado and shred/chop iceberg lettuce.
  3. Crack the eggs into a bowl and mix with a fork.
  4. Pour breadcrumbs into a separate bowl (start with a little bit and then you can add more if needed).
  5. Pour flour into a separate bowl and add garlic powder as well as a couple pinches of salt and some pepper.
  6. Trim any fat off chicken and cut it into rough strips (I butterfly the chicken first to make the process easier).
  7. Dip chicken pieces in the flour then the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
  8. Once all the chicken is battered, heat peanut oil in a skillet on medium-high heat.
  9. Once the oil is hot (drop in a little flour and see if it sizzles), add the chicken. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your pan. Cook chicken for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  10. Place cooked chicken on plates lined with paper towel to soak up excess oil.
  11. Assemble wraps by adding lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, chicken, and a drizzle of ranch.
