Why I Love These Chicken Caesar Wraps

• Refreshing and flavorful. The light crunch of the lettuce. The savory of the roasted chicken and crunchy bacon. The creaminess of the tangy dressing. It all comes together in this wonderful combo of flavors and textures that is sure to have you hooked.
• Grab and go. This is a great meal prep recipe. Make your wraps a day or two in advance and store them in the fridge. Grab one as you rush out the door for your busy day.
• All in one meal. These wraps have everything. Protein, carbs, veggies, and fats all in one convenient bundle of deliciousness, making them a wonderfully convenient no-fuss lunch option.

Recipe Ingredients

Buckle up and head on over to the grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need to make these chicken Caesar salad wraps.

For the chicken

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts – Boneless skinless chicken thighs or breast tenders would also work. If you want to save a little time, grab a rotisserie chicken and take the meat off the bones. You’ll need about 2 cups of cubed chicken.
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper

For the toasted breadcrumbs

• Butter – I suggest using unsalted butter so you have more control over the flavor of your dish.
• Unseasoned breadcrumbs – Breadcrumbs. Not Panko. The texture on Panko just isn’t the same.
• Salt and pepper

To assemble

• Romaine lettuce – You could use a different lettuce if you’d like. Iceberg or butter lettuce would be great but feel free to choose your favorite.
• Grated parmesan cheese – I prefer freshly grated parmesan but you can use the pre-grated stuff in a pinch.
• Hass avocado – Make sure it’s nice and ripe.
• Cooked and crumbled bacon – If you’re not a bacon person, leave it out. Diced, sauteed ham would also be a fun option.
• Caesar dressing – Grab some from the store or make your own. If you want to make your own, the dressing on this Grilled Shrimp Caesar is pretty amazing.
• Spinach-herb wraps—Burrito-style flour tortillas would also work. You can leave the wraps out and make this a salad, instead.

How To Make Chicken Caesar Wraps

Here’s a basic overview of how to make chicken Caesar wraps. Scroll to the recipe card below for detailed instructions.

1. Make the chicken. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Rub the chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper, arrange it on the baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, and then cut it into cubes.
2. Toast the breadcrumbs. Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the breadcrumbs, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely toasted.
3. Make the salad. Toss together the lettuce, parmesan, avocado, bacon, chicken, breadcrumbs, and Caesar dressing.
4. Wrap it up. Divide the salad between the 5 wraps and roll each wrap around the salad, burrito style.

Serving Suggestions

This Caesar wrap is delicious on its own as a grab-and-go lunch but, if you have the time to sit down and enjoy a larger meal, I highly encourage serving it with your favorite potato chips and/or this Strawberry Avocado Pasta Salad or my infamous Spring Vegetable Potato Salad. There’s also nothing wrong with enjoying one of these wraps alongside some deliciously decadent Parmesan Truffle Fries.

Proper Storage

Wrap them in a double layer of plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days. Note that the lettuce will get soggy as the wraps sit, so it’s best to enjoy them sooner. The wraps don’t thaw well, so I do not recommend freezing them.
