Chicken Caesar Wrap with Parmesan (Printable)
Juicy grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing rolled in a warm tortilla with Parmesan.
# What You Need:
→ 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
06 - 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
07 - 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
08 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
09 - 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
→ Cheese & Wraps
10 - 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
→ Garnish
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Directions:
01 - Place a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to preheat while preparing the chicken.
02 - Brush both sides of chicken breasts with olive oil. Season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
03 - Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 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 to coat all leaves. Add cherry tomatoes and red onion if desired.
05 - Lay each tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Divide dressed lettuce evenly among the 4 tortillas. Top each with sliced grilled chicken and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
06 - Add freshly ground black pepper over each wrap according to personal preference.
07 - Fold in both sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure cylinder. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed.
08 - Cut each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately. For portability, wrap tightly in aluminum foil to maintain freshness.
# Expert Tips:

- Everything you love about a Caesar salad but actually filling enough for lunch
- The chicken stays juicy while the lettuce stays impossibly crisp
02 -
- Dry lettuce completely or your wrap will become soggy within minutes
- Let the chicken rest before slicing so all the juices do not run out
03 -
- Grate your own Parmesan for the best melting texture
- Wrap assembled rolls tightly in foil if taking them for lunch
