A light and satisfying chicken Caesar wrap featuring tender grilled chicken, crisp romaine, a tangy Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing, and a unique crunchy parmesan crisp for added texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz / 340 g), thinly sliced or pounded flat
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for dressing)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps
  • 2 cups fresh romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for parmesan crisp)

Instructions

  1. Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove and rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Make the parmesan crisps: For stovetop, sprinkle 2-tablespoon mounds of grated Parmesan spaced apart on hot skillet over medium heat. Cook 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp, flip and cook 1 more minute. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to cool. For oven, spread cheese in small circles on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely.
  4. Prepare the Caesar dressing by whisking Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Lay out wraps flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of dressing evenly over each.
  6. Layer chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices on each wrap.
  7. Slice cooked chicken into strips and arrange on top of veggies.
  8. Crumble a parmesan crisp over the filling for crunch.
  9. Roll each wrap tightly, folding in sides to secure. Slice diagonally and serve immediately or wrap tightly for later.

Notes

Pound chicken breasts slightly for even cooking. Watch parmesan crisps carefully to avoid burning. Warm wraps briefly in microwave if stiff for easier rolling. Store parmesan crisps separately to maintain crunch. Dressing can be thinned with water or lemon juice if too thick.
