A comforting and quick dinner idea, this Chicken Caesar Wrap is filled with juicy chicken, crisp romaine, and tangy dressing, perfect for any night.
Ingredients
Chicken and Preparation
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts Pounded to even thickness for quick cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For searing and flavor
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper To taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Or 1 fresh garlic clove, minced
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat tortillas Use gluten-free if needed
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped Crispness is key
- 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese For that classic Caesar tang
- 1 cup Caesar dressing Homemade or store-bought
- 1/2 cup croutons, lightly crushed Adds nostalgic crunch (optional for gluten-free)
- Lemon wedges To brighten right before serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips.
- Briefly warm the tortillas in the skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Assembly
- Lay a tortilla flat, spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of Caesar dressing down the center, add a handful of romaine, sliced chicken, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and crushed croutons if using.
- Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up. Grill the wrap seam-side down in the skillet for a minute to seal and add a golden crust.
- Cut the wrap in half on the diagonal and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges.
Notes
For variations, try adding smoked paprika for flavor, using roasted chickpeas for a vegetarian option, or replacing the dressing with Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing for a lighter choice.
