Ingredients
- 8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cooked rice
- ½ cup ranch-style salad dressing
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 8 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by prepping your chicken—cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide for easy cooking and even distribution in the wraps.
- To Grill the Chicken: Lightly spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat it over medium-high. Add the chicken strips to the skillet, and cook them for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked (juices should run clear).
- Add the water to the skillet with the cooked chicken, bringing it to a boil. Then, stir in the cooked rice, cover, and remove it from the heat to let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Blend in the ranch-style salad dressing, stirring evenly to coat the chicken and rice mixture.
- To Make Crispy Fried Chicken: Pour buttermilk into a shallow dish, and mix flour, salt, and black pepper in another dish. Dip chicken strips into the buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat (350°F/175°C). Fry the chicken strips for about 3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Combine the fried chicken strips with the cooked rice pilaf, tossing to coat them in the ranch dressing mixture.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or skillet to make them pliable. Then, start assembling: place shredded lettuce, chicken and rice mixture, and diced tomatoes into the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in both sides of the tortilla, and roll tightly from bottom to top to secure the filling. Slice each wrap diagonally and serve warm.
