Ingredients
Scale
Chicken & Coating
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (natural)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup plant-based egg substitute or water mixed with natural gelling agent
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh Vegetables & Herbs
- 1 cup fresh lettuce, washed and sliced
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), chopped
Wrap & Extras
- 4 whole wheat wraps
- 1/4 cup plant-based dairy cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp smoky sauce (made from vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika (natural))
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking. In a bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Toss the chicken strips in the mixture thoroughly, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Coat with Panko Breadcrumbs: Dip each seasoned chicken strip into the plant-based egg substitute or the water and natural gelling agent mixture. Then press each piece into panko breadcrumbs, ensuring a full coating for maximum crispiness.
- Pan-Fry the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the coated chicken strips in the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally to cook evenly without burning.
- Prepare Fresh Veggies: While the chicken cooks, wash and slice the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and chop the fresh herbs. Keep them fresh and crisp for assembling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm the whole wheat wraps slightly to make them pliable. Lay down a bed of lettuce, add tomato slices, cucumber slices, and place the hot crispy chicken strips on top. Sprinkle with shredded plant-based dairy cheese for added creaminess.
- Add Sauce and Roll Up: Drizzle the smoky sauce made from vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika (natural) over the fillings. Tightly roll the wrap, folding in the sides to secure all ingredients inside neatly.
Notes
- Double coat the chicken strips by repeating the dipping process in the plant-based egg substitute and panko for extra crunch.
- Ensure the olive oil is sufficiently hot before frying to crisp the coating quickly without absorbing excess oil.
- Drain fried chicken strips on paper towels to remove extra oil and keep the wraps light.
- Use the freshest vegetables possible to create a contrast in texture and temperature with the warm chicken.
- Warm the wraps gently in a pan or microwave before assembling to prevent cracking while rolling.
