Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts, but you can adjust the amount depending on how many people you’re feeding.

• Romaine Lettuce: Fresh and crispy; it adds a delightful crunch to your wrap.

• Caesar Dressing: Use your favorite store-bought or homemade version for optimal creaminess.

• Parmesan Cheese: Grated parmesan elevates the flavor profile and adds a savory touch.

• Tortillas: Flour tortillas are perfect for wrapping all those delicious ingredients together.

• Pepper and Salt: Essential for seasoning your chicken to perfection.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Cook the Chicken: Start by preheating your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper generously before placing them on the heat. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Caesar Dressing: While the chicken cooks, whisk together your desired amount of caesar dressing in a small bowl. Feel free to add more garlic or lemon juice for extra zing if you’re feeling adventurous.

Chop the Lettuce: Rinse your romaine lettuce under cold water and pat it dry thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces that will fit comfortably inside your tortilla without making a mess.

Assemble the Wraps: Once the chicken has cooled slightly after cooking, slice it into strips. Lay out each tortilla flat and layer on some romaine lettuce followed by sliced chicken and grated parmesan cheese.

Add Dressing and Roll Up!: Drizzle some caesar dressing over the fillings before folding up your tortilla tightly from one end to another. You can also tuck in the sides for a cleaner finish if you’re aiming for presentation points.

Enjoying these wraps immediately brings joy as you take that first bite—crunchy lettuce meets creamy dressing and perfectly seasoned chicken in every mouthful!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Sauté the chicken seasoned with salt and pepper until golden brown, then prepare the dressing while it cools to maximize efficiency.

Add Your Touch

Try swapping out romaine for spinach or adding avocado for creaminess. You can also use grilled shrimp instead of chicken for a twist.

Storing & Reheating

Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic and refrigerate for up to two days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for best results.

Sharing my first attempt at making chicken caesar wraps brings back memories of my friend’s rave reviews during our picnic. It was a hit!
