Chicken Caesar Wrap Parmesan (Printable Version)
A satisfying wrap filled with grilled chicken, romaine, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese.
# Ingredient List:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 10.5 oz)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Wrap & Fillings
06 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches)
07 - 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
08 - 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
09 - 1/3 cup shaved or grated Parmesan cheese
10 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

# Directions:
01 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
02 - Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
03 - Cook chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 15 seconds until pliable.
05 - In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing to coat evenly.
06 - Place each tortilla flat and layer with dressed romaine, sliced chicken, Parmesan cheese, and optional red onion and cherry tomatoes.
07 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly into a wrap.
08 - Cut wraps in half and serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in under 25 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weeknight without losing your mind.
- The warm chicken against the cool, crisp lettuce creates this texture contrast that somehow never gets boring.
- Caesar dressing does the heavy lifting flavor-wise, so you don't need to fuss with complicated seasoning.
02 -
- Don't skip letting the chicken rest after cooking—rushing straight to slicing releases all the moisture and leaves you with dry, sad chicken.
- The tortilla temperature matters more than you'd think; cold ones tear and warm ones stay together, so don't skip this step even though it seems minor.
03 -
- Score your chicken breasts horizontally with a knife before cooking so you can pound them flat to an even thickness; this prevents one side from overcooking while the other stays raw.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished wrap adds brightness that the Caesar dressing alone doesn't quite capture.
