For the Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Caesar Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas or spinach wraps for a healthier option
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup croutons
- 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
Marinate and Cook the Chicken
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to an hour for deeper flavor).
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Make the Caesar Dressing
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This dressing is creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of garlicky.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the tortillas and spread a generous spoonful of Caesar dressing down the center of each. Layer on the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and croutons. Top with the sliced chicken and a sprinkle of shaved Parmesan.
- Warm the Tortillas: Briefly heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
-
Customize It: Add avocado, bacon, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for a personal touch.
