Chicken Caesar Wrap with Parmesan (Printable)
Juicy grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing with Parmesan in a soft tortilla.
# What You Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 10.5 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 cherry tomatoes halved (optional)
09 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
→ Cheese and Wraps
10 - 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 4 large 10-inch flour tortillas
→ Garnish
12 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
02 - Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and coat evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
03 - Place chicken on the hot pan and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing. Toss thoroughly until leaves are evenly coated. Add cherry tomatoes and red onion if desired.
05 - Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide dressed lettuce evenly among all four tortillas. Top each portion with sliced grilled chicken and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese per wrap.
06 - Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Fold in both sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form a secure cylinder.
07 - Cut each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately. For later consumption, wrap tightly in aluminum foil to maintain freshness.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The combination of warm grilled chicken against cold crisp lettuce creates this incredible temperature contrast that hits different
- Everything stays neatly contained so you can actually eat this while driving walking or multitasking without wearing your lunch
02 -
- Letting the chicken rest before slicing is non negotiable otherwise all those juices run out onto your cutting board instead of staying in your wrap
- Overfilling seems like a good idea until you're trying to roll and everything explodes so show some restraint with the filling
03 -
- Warm your tortillas in a dry pan for 15 seconds per side to make them more pliable and less likely to crack
- Slice your chicken against the grain into thin strips so every bite is tender not chewy
