Chicken Caesar Wrap Parmesan Cheese (Printable)

Grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and shaved Parmesan in a tortilla for a quick, satisfying meal.

# What goes in:

→ Proteins

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (12 oz)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Vegetables

05 - 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
06 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

→ Dairy & Cheese

07 - 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

→ Wraps

08 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

→ Dressing

09 - 1/3 cup Caesar dressing

→ Toppings

10 - 1/2 cup crushed croutons (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
02 - Grill the chicken breasts for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
03 - In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing until thoroughly coated.
04 - Lay the flour tortillas flat. Evenly distribute the dressed lettuce, sliced chicken, shaved Parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes if using, and crushed croutons among the tortillas.
05 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly like a burrito. Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in half an hour, making weeknight dinners feel less like a chore and more like a small victory.
  • The combination of warm grilled chicken against cool, crisp lettuce creates a textural contrast that keeps you coming back for another bite.
  • Everything stays contained in that tortilla, so you can eat it standing up, sitting down, or on the drive to wherever life takes you next.
02 -
  • Resting the chicken is not optional—those 5 minutes make the difference between juicy and dry, between a wrap that feels luxurious and one that feels rushed.
  • Dressing the lettuce ahead of time is actually your friend; it softens slightly and absorbs flavor rather than sitting naked and crisp.
  • Tear or chop your romaine into manageable pieces, not tiny shreds, so they have enough structure to roll without bunching up in the center.
03 -
  • If your chicken is thicker than half an inch, place it between plastic wrap and gently pound it to even thickness—this guarantees uniform cooking and keeps the texture tender.
  • Warming the tortillas briefly in a dry pan before filling them makes them more pliable and less likely to tear when you roll them.
  • Assemble the wraps in an assembly-line fashion with all ingredients laid out; it's faster, more fun, and ensures consistency across all four.
