About this recipe
A chicken Caesar wrap packs everything you love about the salad into a portable lunch. Sliced grilled chicken, crisp romaine, shaved Parmesan and crushed croutons are tossed with a creamy Caesar dressing and rolled up tightly.
The quick dressing uses mayonnaise as its base, so there is no raw egg, and it keeps well in the fridge for the week.
Equipment you'll need
- Grill pan or skillet
- Instant-read thermometer
Tips for success
- Pounding the chicken to an even thickness keeps it juicy and helps it cook evenly.
- If packing for later, keep the dressed lettuce separate and assemble just before eating so the wrap stays crisp.
- Leftover roast or rotisserie chicken works well too.
Substitutions and variations
- Use grilled shrimp or crispy chickpeas instead of chicken.
- Swap the tortilla for a large romaine leaf for a low-carb wrap.
- Replace the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
Storage
To store: Refrigerate the dressing for up to 5 days and cooked chicken for up to 3 days. Assembled wraps are best within a few hours.
