Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup buffalo sauce

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup ranch dressing (optional for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag, immerse the chicken breasts in buttermilk. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, though for optimal flavor, marinating overnight is recommended.

      Prepare the Breading Station:

        - Set up your breading station by whisking together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, pour the panko breadcrumbs.

          Bread the Chicken:

            - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

              - Take the marinated chicken breasts out of the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. First, dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it back into the buttermilk, and finally, roll it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing down gently to ensure an even coating.

                Bake the Chicken:

                  - Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

                    Toss with Buffalo Sauce:

                      - Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into strips and toss them in a large bowl with the buffalo sauce until each piece is thoroughly coated.

                        Assemble the Wraps:

                          - Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean, dry surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer a generous handful of shredded romaine lettuce, followed by diced tomatoes, buffalo chicken strips, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Drizzle ranch dressing over the top if desired for added creaminess.

                            Wrap It Up:

                              - Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to the top to secure all the ingredients inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

                                Slice and Serve:

                                  - Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easy handling. Serve immediately with extra ranch dressing or additional buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.

                                      - Presentation Tips: Arrange the wraps on a vibrant platter, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra paprika for a pop of color. Serve with crunchy vegetable sticks for added texture.
