Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor and tenderness.

    Prepare for Frying: In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. In another dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.

      Bread the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip back into the buttermilk, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

        Fry the Chicken: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry for about 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove and drain on paper towels.

          Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth (or water) and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender. Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

            Mix the Avocado Rice: In a bowl, combine the cooked jasmine rice with the mashed avocado, lime juice, and salt. Mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

              Assemble the Wraps: On a large lettuce leaf, place a generous spoonful of the avocado rice, top with crispy chicken, and garnish with sliced radishes and fresh cilantro.

                Serve: Roll the lettuce leaf around the filling like a wrap. Drizzle with Sriracha or any dipping sauce if desired. Enjoy your delicious and crispy chicken avocado rice wraps!
