Let’s Make it together

Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning your boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a splash of olive oil until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips. This keeps it juicy and flavorful.

Assemble Your Ingredients: While your chicken rests, wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces along with halving those lovely cherry tomatoes.

Mix It All Together: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and drizzle Caesar dressing over everything. Toss gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are coated.

Wrap It Up: Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon an ample amount of the mixture onto each tortilla’s center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly from one end to another to create secure wraps.

Serve immediately or refrigerate briefly for later enjoyment. These Summer Chicken Caesar Wraps are perfect for picnics or packed lunches just don’t forget extra napkins for those glorious bites.

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by grilling or pan-searing the chicken until golden brown. While it rests, chop fresh veggies and prepare your dressing for maximum flavor infusion.
