Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Dressing

  • 1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Wrap Assembly

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing
  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup croutons

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the tablespoon of olive oil. This provides a non-stick surface and helps cook the chicken evenly.
  2. Cook the chicken: Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook it for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and golden brown.
  3. Rest the chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest for a few minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute for tender meat.
  4. Slice the chicken: Once the chicken has cooled slightly, slice it into thin strips for easy wrapping and even distribution in the wrap.
  5. Prepare the lemon-Dijon dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined to create a flavorful dressing.
  6. Toss chicken with dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with the lemon mustard dressing mixture, tossing to coat the chicken evenly for enhanced flavor.
  7. Add Parmesan cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl with the chicken mixture and toss again to distribute the cheese thoroughly.
  8. Lay out tortilla: Lay the large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface, preparing it for assembly.
  9. Spread Caesar dressing: Spread the Caesar dressing evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving a border around the edges to prevent spilling when rolled.
  10. Add lettuce: Place the chopped romaine lettuce on top of the Caesar dressing, spreading it out in a thin, even layer for a crisp texture.
  11. Add chicken mixture: Add the dressed chicken mixture on top of the lettuce, spreading it out evenly for a balanced bite.
  12. Sprinkle croutons: Sprinkle the croutons over the chicken mixture to add crunchy texture throughout the wrap.
  13. Roll the wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then carefully roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring all ingredients stay inside and the wrap is tight.
  14. Slice and serve: Slice the wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and serve immediately to enjoy fresh and flavorful.

Notes

  • Cook chicken fully to ensure safety and proper texture.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon-Dijon mixture for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make the wrap gluten-free.
  • Substitute Caesar dressing with a vegan alternative for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a salad for a complete meal.
