Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for optimal crunchiness)

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

1 cup shredded lettuce (Romaine or iceberg is ideal)

1 medium tomato, diced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

4 whole wheat tortillas (or your preferred wrap)

3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Optional: fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, mixing them well to create a uniform coating.

    Coat the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. One by one, dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. Arrange them on a lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.

      Bake the Chicken: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

        Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the chicken bakes, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a mixing bowl. Mash them until creamy using a fork or a masher. Stir in the lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper to taste. Set aside.

          Assemble the Wraps: After the chicken has finished baking and rested for a few minutes, slice it into strips. Take each tortilla and spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture to cover the entire surface.

            Layer the Ingredients: On top of the avocado spread, add a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onions. Then, finish off with the crispy chicken strips placed neatly over the top.

              Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to securely encase all your delicious fillings.

                Serving: With a sharp knife, slice each wrap in half diagonally for an appealing presentation. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately alongside your favorite dipping sauce or salsa for an extra kick!
