Chicken Caesar Wrap

Description

A chicken caesar wrap always feels like the kind of meal you look forward to—even if it is just Tuesday lunch. It has all the classic charm of a Caesar salad but tucked into a soft tortilla that makes it perfectly portable, satisfying, and comforting. Think warm grilled chicken slices, crisp romaine, salty parmesan, and creamy Caesar dressing all bundled together like a little flavor gift.

I have made these wraps more times than I can count, and what I love most (besides how good they taste) is how adaptable they are. This recipe works beautifully whether you are starting from scratch or using up last night’s leftover chicken. Want to make it lighter? There are super simple swaps. Want to take it over the top? Toss in some crispy bacon or squeeze a touch of fresh lemon over the top—trust me, your tastebuds will thank you.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

You are going to adore this chicken caesar wrap because it checks all the boxes: healthy-ish but still hearty, flavorful but not fussy, and just perfect whether you are sitting down at the table or grabbing lunch between meetings. The crisp lettuce keeps things fresh, the parmesan brings in that bold and nutty punch, and the creamy dressing pulls it all together.

It is also a meal prep hero. Make a batch of grilled chicken on Sunday and you are halfway to lunch all week long. Make it your own by swapping the tortilla for a low-carb option or adding a few slices of avocado for a creamy twist.

Serving and Storage Tips

For best results, eat your chicken caesar wrap freshly made while the lettuce is still crisp and the tortilla soft. If you are packing it to go, I recommend wrapping it tightly in parchment paper and slicing just before eating.

If storing for later, keep the components separate in airtight containers in the fridge. Assembled wraps can be stored for up to two days, but they might get a little soft if the dressing and lettuce sit too long. To rewarm, wrap in foil and pop it into a toaster oven for about 5 to 7 minutes—perfect if you like your wrap slightly warm and the cheese a little melty.

Servings, Prep Time, Cook Time, Total Time, Serving Size

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Caesar dressing
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced
• 1 cup croutons crushed

Equipment

• Grill or skillet
• Mixing bowl
• Cutting board
• Knife
• Tongs
• Measuring spoons
• Measuring cups

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or skillet: Heat over medium-high while you prep your chicken. This ensures a good sear and more flavor.
2. Season the chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly on both sides.
3. Grill or cook until golden and done: Place the chicken on the grill or skillet and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Let it rest: Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps seal in the juices before slicing into bite-sized strips.
5. Toss the romaine: In a mixing bowl, gently toss the chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until fully coated. I like to go light on the dressing and serve extra on the side.
6. Assemble the wraps: Lay out tortillas on a flat surface and divide the dressed romaine among them, keeping everything in the center to make wrapping easier.
7. Add the toppings: Top each wrap with sliced chicken, grated parmesan, sliced cherry tomatoes, and a scattering of crushed croutons for texture.
8. Roll it up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to close tightly. You can slice them in half at an angle to make them easier to serve or pack.
9. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately or chill wrapped for lunch on the go.

Nutrition per serving

For extra flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan and do not skip the lemon zest. Leftovers keep well for 2 days in the fridge.
