Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: Begin by soaking the chicken breasts in a bowl filled with buttermilk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. This allows the flavors to infuse and the chicken to become tender.

    Prepare for Frying: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. In another dish, place the panko breadcrumbs so they are ready for coating the chicken.

      Bread the Chicken: Once marinated, take the chicken breasts out of the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each piece first in the flour mixture, then dip it back into the buttermilk, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure they adhere well.

        Fry the Chicken: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken into the skillet. Fry for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove the chicken and let it drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

          Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with the chicken broth (or water), and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, cover, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender. Take it off the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

            Mix the Avocado Rice: In a separate bowl, combine the fluffy jasmine rice with the mashed avocado, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well mixed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.

              Assemble the Wraps: On each large lettuce leaf, place a generous scoop of the avocado rice as a base. Top it with slices of the crispy chicken, then garnish with sliced radishes and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added color and flavor.

                Serve: Roll the lettuce leaf around the filling like a wrap. For an added kick, drizzle with Sriracha or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy your delightful and crispy chicken avocado rice wraps!
