# Instructions:
01 -
Slice 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast into thin, even strips. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, ensuring it's well coated. This prepares the high-protein core for your Quick & High Protein Chicken Caesar Wraps.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through with no pink remaining. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 minced clove garlic, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and creamy, perfect for these Quick & High Protein Chicken Caesar Wraps.
04 -
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 2 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup crushed croutons. Pour the prepared Caesar dressing over the mixture and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
05 -
Briefly warm 2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-20 seconds per side, or microwave for 10-15 seconds. This makes them more pliable and easier to roll, ensuring perfect Quick & High Protein Chicken Caesar Wraps.
06 -
Lay out each warmed tortilla on a clean surface. Divide the chicken Caesar mixture evenly between the two tortillas, placing it slightly off-center. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll from the bottom up to create your finished Quick & High Protein Chicken Caesar Wraps. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For a lower carb option, use large lettuce leaves (like butter lettuce or iceberg) instead of tortillas to make lettuce wraps.
02 -
Cook the chicken and prepare the dressing ahead of time. Store separately in the fridge. Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent sogginess.
03 -
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a subtle kick, or a dash of smoked paprika to the chicken for extra depth.
04 -
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh. If you must store them, wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for up to 1 day, but the lettuce and croutons may soften.
