Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup creamy Caesar dressing
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional add-ins: halved cherry tomatoes, crouton crumbs for extra crunch
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear chicken in hot pan for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
- Remove chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Shred the chicken finely using two forks.
- In a mixing bowl, toss shredded chicken with Caesar dressing until well coated.
- Lay a tortilla flat and add about ½ cup of dressed chicken in the center.
- Top with chopped romaine, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and a dusting of Parmesan. Add optional cherry tomatoes or crouton bits if desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
- Heat your skillet back to medium heat and spray lightly with cooking oil.
- Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden-brown and cheese is melted.
- Transfer to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and serve warm with extra Caesar dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the chicken while cooking.
- If preparing ahead of time, keep the components separate and assemble just before cooking to prevent soggy wraps.
- Rotisserie chicken works beautifully as a time-saving alternative.
- For a lower-carb option, use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
