Equipment
- 1 Griddle or grill pan (for grilling chicken)
- 1 Knife (for slicing chicken)
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Large bowl (for mixing salad ingredients)
- 1 Large spoon (for spreading dressing)
- 1 Large tortilla or wrap (for each serving)
Ingredients
- lb Chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce washed and chopped
- ¼ cup Caesar dressing store-bought or homemade
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 Large flour tortillas or wraps of choice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Croutons, lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any additional seasoning you like. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
- Chop the Lettuce: Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay each tortilla flat. Spread Caesar dressing over the center of each wrap. Add chopped lettuce, sliced chicken, and Parmesan cheese. Optionally, sprinkle with croutons and squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and tightly roll the wrap from the bottom, securing the filling inside.
- Serve: Cut the wrap in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Alternatively, wrap it in foil for an on-the-go meal.
