Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Start by slicing chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with seasonings.
  • Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip in eggs, and roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken strips for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Warm flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Spread Alfredo sauce on each tortilla, add crispy chicken strips, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, slice the chicken evenly and ensure oil is hot enough before frying.
