Recipe preparation

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; however, adjust according to your crowd size.
  • Fresh Romaine Lettuce: Choose crisp heads of romaine; they add crunch and freshness.
  • Caesar Dressing: A rich and creamy dressing is key; opt for homemade or store-bought.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Shredded or grated; this salty cheese elevates the flavor immensely.
  • Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best for wrapping; soft yet sturdy enough to hold everything together.
  • Garlic Powder: This adds depth without overpowering; I love using garlic powder instead of fresh for ease.
  • Pepper: Freshly cracked black pepper brightens flavors; season generously to taste.
  • Lemon Juice: A splash of acidity balances the creaminess; use fresh squeezed for maximum brightness.

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

Let’s Make it Together

Cook the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 6-7 minutes per side). Allow them to rest before slicing.

Prepare the Dressing Mix: In a small bowl, combine Caesar dressing with lemon juice for an extra zing that makes each bite pop. Whisk until smooth and velvety.

Chop the Romaine Lettuce: While the chicken cools down, wash and chop your romaine into bite-sized pieces. Think crunchy confetti waiting to party in your wrap.

Assemble Your Wraps: Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start layering by placing sliced chicken in the center followed by chopped romaine lettuce and shredded Parmesan cheese.

Add Dressing and Roll Up: Drizzle your zesty dressing over the filling before rolling up tightly from one side to another like you’re tucking in a sleepy burrito.

Slicing Time: Cut each wrap in half diagonally with a sharp knife for that Instagram-worthy presentation. Serve immediately or wrap them up for later—if they last that long.

Now you’ve made delicious Chicken Caesar Wraps that are sure to impress all your friends. Enjoy experimenting with different ingredients—maybe some crispy bacon or sun-dried tomatoes? The possibilities are endless.
