Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup croutons, lightly crushed
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp bacon bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  2. 2

    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

  3. 3

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Warm the 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch) slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.

  5. 5

    In a bowl, toss the 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce with most of the 1/4 cup Caesar dressing, reserving some for drizzling.

  6. 6

    Lay the tortillas flat and layer each with the dressed lettuce, grilled chicken strips, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup lightly crushed croutons, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tbsp bacon bits (optional) if using.

  7. 7

    Drizzle with the remaining Caesar dressing.

  8. 8

    Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling.

  9. 9

    Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper or aluminum foil for a portable lunch.

Questions

Can I make Grilled Caesar Chicken Wrap dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Grilled Caesar Chicken Wrap gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch), 1/2 cup croutons, lightly crushed. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works); the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Grilled Caesar Chicken Wrap keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat in a hot skillet rather than the microwave to keep the char.

Can I halve or double Grilled Caesar Chicken Wrap?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubling on the grill just takes more surface area; keep the heat zones the same.
