Description
A handheld, protein-packed twist on the classic Caesar salad. Combining grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and crispy croutons in a warm whole wheat wrap, this wrap is perfect for quick lunches or light dinners. The quick-bake method ensures a crisp wrap without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
Chicken Breasts (2 (6 oz each))
Romaine Lettuce (1 head)
Caesar Dressing (1/2 cup)
Croutons (1/4 cup)
Parmesan Cheese, grated (2 tbsp)
Whole Wheat Wrap (4 large)
Lime Juice (1 tbsp)
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Chop romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and mix with croutons and 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing.
Reserve the remaining dressing; zest lime over the salad mixture.
Heat grill or skillet to 450°F; cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side.
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes; then slice against the grain into thin strips.
Assemble wraps by spreading Caesar dressing onto each wrap, layering with romaine mixture, sliced chicken, and Parmesan, then rolling tightly.
Notes
Use anchovy-free Caesar dressing if avoiding anchovies.
Substitute chicken breasts with grilled tofu or shrimp if preferred.
Red leaf lettuce can replace romaine for a sweeter flavor profile.
Warm wraps just before assembly to prevent sogginess; wrap tightly after filling.
Store leftover ingredients separately for best crispiness. For vegan options, omit Parmesan and add nutritional yeast.
