Description
This modern Chicken Caesar Wrap is a nutritious, protein-packed lunch staple featuring perfectly seared chicken breast, fresh crisp romaine, and a zesty, homemade Greek yogurt Caesar dressing. By swapping traditional mayonnaise for protein-rich Greek yogurt, you get all the creamy, tangy indulgence you crave without any of the heavy, lingering sluggishness. Wrapped in a soft, toasted flour tortilla, it is the perfect portable solution for busy workdays, meal prep, or light, satisfying dinners that leave you feeling energized and refreshed.
Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 large burrito-sized flour tortillas
4 cups fresh romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shaved
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard for the dressing and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden.
Remove chicken from the pan, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Lightly toast the tortillas in a clean, dry pan for 30 seconds per side until warm and pliable.
Spread a spoonful of dressing on each tortilla, then layer with romaine, sliced chicken, and shaved parmesan.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly, securing the wrap before slicing in half to serve.
Notes
To prevent the wrap from getting soggy during meal prep, place the romaine lettuce as a barrier between the tortilla and the dressed chicken. You can also store the dressing separately and add it right before eating for maximum freshness.
