Description
Make satisfying, low-carb Caesar salad wraps featuring crispy, almond-flour-coated chicken and a sugar-free dressing, using large lettuce leaves as the wrap.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally into thin cutlets
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or coconut oil, for frying
- 4 large butter lettuce leaves or romaine hearts, separated and washed (for wraps)
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup Keto Caesar dressing (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken coating: In one shallow dish, combine the almond flour, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a second shallow dish, place the beaten egg.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet first in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture until fully coated.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated chicken cutlets in the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce and the Keto Caesar dressing. Toss gently to coat.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the large butter lettuce leaves. Place a portion of the dressed lettuce mixture down the center of each leaf.
- Top the lettuce mixture with the sliced crispy chicken strips. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crunch without carbs, you can crush pork rinds finely and substitute half of the almond flour in the coating mixture.
- If you prefer a tortilla, look for commercially available low-carb, high-fiber tortillas, checking the net carb count carefully.
- Make the Keto Caesar dressing ahead of time; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
