Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps with Parmesan Shavings
Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- For the Wrap Filling:
- 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch size)
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese shavings
- ½ cup croutons (optional, crushed for easier wrapping)
- Optional Add-ins:
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 2 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chicken: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Rub chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Remove from heat, rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
- Step 2: Assemble the Caesar Filling: In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing. Toss well to coat evenly. Add sliced chicken, Parmesan shavings, and croutons (if using). Gently mix.
- Step 3: Build the Wraps: Warm tortillas slightly (microwave for 20 seconds or pan-heat for 10 seconds each side). Place the salad mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold the bottom up, then roll tightly like a burrito. Secure with parchment or foil if packing for lunch.
