If low-effort high-reward was a recipe, this would be it. Crispy panko chicken tacos topped with crisp romaine coated in a creamy Caesar dressing and of course topped with lots of freshly shaved parmesan. What could be better? These take almost no time at all to whip up making them the perfect quick lunch or a fun weeknight dinner the whole family will love.
You can make your Caesar dressing from scratch using my recipe (I promise it is way easter than you think!) or you can use your favorite store-bought dressing to make this even easier. Either way, you absolutely must try these!
1. To a medium bowl, add the ground chicken, seasoning, salt, and pepper. Use a spoon to mix well.
2. Use a spoon to spread 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on each tortilla, using the back of the spoon to spread it out in a thin layer.
3. On a medium size plate, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper. Press the chicken side of each tortilla into the panko mixture. Set aside.
4. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large nonstick skillet. When the oil is hot, add 1-2 of the tortillas, chicken side-down, making sure to not crowd the pan. (You may need to cook 1 at a time.) Cook for 3-4 minutes (only on one side) until golden brown and chicken is cooked through. Transfer the tortillas, chicken side-up, onto a serving platter.
5. In a large bowl, mix the chopped lettuce with about 1/2 cup of the caesar dressing and use tongs to toss to coat.
6. Top each taco with a scoop of the salad. Finish with more grated parmesan cheese and freshly cracked pepper.
