Tender chicken paired with lemony piccata sauce and a crunchy wrap for a tasty fusion dish.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
05 - 2 large eggs, beaten
06 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

→ Piccata Sauce

07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
10 - 1/3 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
11 - 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
12 - 2 tablespoons capers, drained
13 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
14 - Zest of 1 lemon

→ Wrap & Crunch

15 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
16 - 4 tostada shells or baked corn tortillas
17 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
18 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves

# Directions:

01 - Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets. Season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
02 - Dredge each cutlet in all-purpose flour, then dip into beaten eggs, followed by coating with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry breaded chicken cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
04 - In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, scraping browned bits, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in capers, chopped parsley, and lemon zest. Remove from heat.
05 - Place one flour tortilla on a flat surface. Layer with 1/4 cup baby spinach, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella, one tostada shell, and one chicken cutlet sliced if preferred. Drizzle generously with piccata sauce.
06 - Fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, pleating the sides to form a fully sealed wrap.
07 - Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently until the exterior is golden and crisp.
08 - Repeat assembly and toasting with the remaining wraps. Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional parsley or lemon wedges.
