Description

A quick, healthy, and delicious lunch idea featuring tender shredded chicken, crisp romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing wrapped in a soft tortilla. Perfect for meal prep and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb or 450g)
2 heads romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove chicken from pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
While chicken rests, wash and thoroughly dry romaine lettuce, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together Caesar dressing, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Shred the rested chicken using two forks into thin strands.
In a large bowl, toss shredded chicken with chopped lettuce and the dressing mixture until evenly coated.
Warm tortillas in microwave or dry skillet for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
Lay a tortilla flat, spoon chicken mixture onto center, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Fold bottom up, fold in sides, and roll tightly.
Slice wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure lettuce is completely dry to prevent soggy wraps. If meal prepping, store dressing separately and add just before eating. For a gluten-free version, use corn tortillas or lettuce leaves. For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with chickpeas or grilled tofu.
