Chicken Caesar Wrap with Parmesan (Printable)

Grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing rolled with Parmesan in a soft tortilla for a satisfying portable meal.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 10 ounces)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Salad Components

06 - 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
07 - 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
08 - 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (optional)
09 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)

→ Cheese and Wraps

10 - 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

→ Garnish

12 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

# Directions:

01 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until properly hot.
02 - Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and coat evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
03 - Place seasoned chicken on hot grill pan. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
04 - Combine chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing in a large mixing bowl. Toss until leaves are evenly coated. Add cherry tomatoes and red onion if desired.
05 - Lay tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Distribute dressed lettuce mixture evenly among all four tortillas. Arrange sliced chicken over lettuce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
06 - Add additional black pepper if desired. Fold both sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form a secure wrap.
07 - Cut each wrap diagonally in half. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in aluminum foil for a portable meal option.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast of warm seasoned chicken against cool crisp romaine creates that perfect temperature balance that makes restaurant food so irresistible
  • You get all the indulgence of a Caesar salad with none of the mess, plus the protein keeps you satisfied for hours
  • These wraps somehow taste even better after being wrapped up, making them ideal for meal prep or picnic baskets
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that letting the chicken rest before slicing is what prevents it from turning dry and disappointing, so don't skip this seemingly small step
  • Overdressing the lettuce is the fastest way to end up with soggy wraps that fall apart in your hands, so start with less dressing than you think you need
03 -
  • Warming your tortillas in a dry pan for 15 seconds per side makes them infinitely more flexible and less likely to tear when you roll
  • Slice your chicken against the grain into thin strips, which creates more surface area for flavor and makes each wrap easier to bite through
