Have you ever wished your chicken Caesar salad was portable? Us too! Turns out all we had to do was put it in a wrap, and now we can take our favorite salad with us everywhere– no mess!
- Seasoned Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are sliced into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
- Lettuce: A classic Caesar is made with crunchy romaine lettuce. Iceberg also works.

- Caesar Dressing: This creamy, flavorful dressing is what really make this a Caesar wrap.
- Cheese: We’re partial to Parmesan, but use whatever cheese you love.
- Tortillas: We like flour tortillas for these wraps, but spinach would also be delish!

How to Make a Chicken Caesar Wrap Step by Step
Prep the Chicken: Place 1½ pounds of sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a bowl. Add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of ½ lemon, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper. Toss the chicken until it’s fully coated. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet set over medium heat. Once heated, add in the chicken, cooking on both sides for 3-4 minutes until browned on the edges and cooked through. Allow the chicken to cool a bit.
Fill the Wraps: In a salad bowl, toss together 4 cups of chopped romaine lettuce, 1 cup of croutons, ⅓ cup of Caesar dressing, and ¼ cup of shredded Parmesan cheese. Place an equal amount of the salad in the middle of each of 4 large flour tortillas, then top with cooked chicken.
Fold the Wraps: Fold the tortilla up from the bottom, then fold in the sides, and roll up into a burrito.
These wraps are a great source of protein, potassium, and vitamin A. However, they are also high in fat, sodium, and calories, so enjoy them in moderation!
Absolutely! This is a great meal prep recipe. Just wrap them in plastic wrap to help keep them fresh!
To minimize the sog factor, try placing a layer of undressed greens directly on the wrap first to act as a barrier between the filling and the tortilla.
