A quick and easy wrap featuring crispy grilled chicken, fresh romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing, perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g), pounded to even thickness
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25 cm), warmed
  • 2 cups fresh romaine lettuce, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: sliced cherry tomatoes or cucumbers for extra crunch

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and pound to an even thickness of about ½ inch (1.3 cm). Brush both sides with olive oil and season evenly with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat until smoking hot, about 5 minutes.
  3. Grill chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side (12-15 minutes total) until grill marks form and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as desired.
  6. Wash and dry romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Slice rested chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
  8. Lay warm tortillas flat and spread a generous spoonful of Caesar dressing down the center of each.
  9. Top with chopped romaine, sliced chicken, shredded Parmesan, and optional veggies like cherry tomatoes or cucumbers.
  10. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
  11. Optional: Toast the wrap in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side for extra crispness.

Notes

If you don’t have a grill pan, use a skillet or bake chicken at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes. Let chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy. For a crispier wrap, toast in a skillet or panini press for 1-2 minutes per side. Use almond or coconut flour tortillas for gluten-free, or large lettuce leaves for low-carb wraps. Dressing can be made ahead and stored up to 3 days in the fridge.
