This Chicken Chicken Breakfast Wrap contains breaded chicken tenders, an over-easy egg, cheddar, and pickled jalapeño peppers. It’s great for breakfast on the go. You can also make a batch ahead and reheat as needed. Just wrap and freeze individually, and reheat in a toaster oven or microwave.

The chicken tenders are breaded before being shallow-fried (they can also be baked). For a shortcut, you can use frozen chicken tenders. I won’t tell!

As for the egg, I like it over-easy with a runny yolk. If you make it, cook it to your preference. Last, but not least, don’t leave out the jalapeño peppers. They add a nice zing and a little heat that brightens all the flavors.

Ingredients

8 small chicken tenders (about 1 pound), patted dry
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
8 large eggs
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
about 32 slices hot pickled jalapeño peppers
olive oil or vegetable oil for cooking

For the egg wash:

1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/8 tsp. each salt
1/8 black pepper

Instructions

Add bread crumbs, flour, and all spices into a large zip-lock plastic bag. Shake to combine well.
In a shallow bowl, combine and whisk all the eggwash ingredients.
Place half of the chicken tenders in the bag. Shake to coat. Remove and dredge in the egg wash. Put back into the bag. Shake well to coat with the breadcrumb/flour mixture. Transfer the tenders to a platter. Repeat breading the remaining tenders.
To shallow fry: Preheat a large skillet on medium heat. Add 1/4-inch oil. Cook tenders about 3-4 minutes per side. Done when the juices run clear and have an internal temperature of 165°F. You may need to cook in two batches depending on the skillet size. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm while you make the eggs.
To bake option: place tenders on a prepared baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F.
To cook eggs, preheat a large non-stick skillet to medium. Coat the bottom with oil (or butter, optional). Cook in 2 batches. Crack eggs and cook for about 3 minutes or until the whites are set. Flip over using a spatula. Immediately top each with some cheddar. Cover. Cook for 1 minute for over-easy, 2 minutes for over-medium, and slightly longer for over-hard.
Microwave a couple of tortillas at a time for 10 seconds. Layer with one chicken tender, an egg/cheese, and 4 slices of jalapeño peppers. Serve.
Makes 8 servings.

Tips

The number of chicken tenders in the 1-pound package may vary depending on the size. Cooking time may also vary slightly depending on the size. Adjust accordingly.
Make wraps ahead of time to reheat as needed. To reheat, microwave for 30-45 seconds.

Hey, you're copying! JK but I do that when I make cutlets but originally used cheese steak meat or cut up steak or even burgers topped with over easy or medium eggs depending how messy you want them. Works on a hoagie roll or Kaiser roll too. 😎🤙

  Lol. I’m with you on the steak and burger, especially steak. You throw an egg on it, and it makes everything better!
