Steps
Place the ground chicken in a bowl. Add the chicken-seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and black pepper, then mix thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Lay the seven tortillas flat. Using the back of a spoon, press an even layer of the seasoned ground chicken across the surface of each tortilla, spreading it all the way toward the edges.
Spread the panko breadcrumbs over a flat plate. Place a chicken-coated tortilla chicken-side down onto the panko and rotate or press it back and forth until the chicken is fully coated with breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Heat a skillet or flat pan over medium heat. Place the coated tacos chicken-side down in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the panko is crisp and golden.
Flip each taco carefully and cook the tortilla side for about 2 minutes, until the tortilla is crisp and the chicken reaches 165°F (74 °C) / 74°C (165 °F) internally.
While the tacos cook, place the nonfat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dressing salt, dressing black pepper, garlic paste, lemon juice, and freshly grated Parmesan in a bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped romaine lettuce to the dressing and toss until the lettuce is evenly coated, creating the Caesar salad topping.
Remove the crispy chicken tacos from the pan. Top each taco with the Caesar salad and serve immediately.
