There’s something incredibly satisfying about a delicious Chicken Caesar Wrap. I still remember the first time I made these for my friends during a casual get-together. I wanted to create something effortless yet packed with flavors. As I assembled the wraps, the tantalizing aroma of the seasoned chicken mingled with the creamy dressing filled the kitchen, drawing everyone in. Each bite was a perfect balance of crunchy lettuce, savory chicken, and rich Caesar dressing, all wrapped snugly in a soft tortilla. It’s moments like these that remind me how easy it is to create something special with just a few quality ingredients.

Ingredients Overview for Chicken Caesar Wrap

The ingredients for the Chicken Caesar Wrap are simple yet incredibly effective. Each component plays a vital role in creating a delicious meal. The stars of this recipe include the succulent chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, and the rich Caesar dressing. Together, they form a satisfying combination that wraps up beautifully in a whole wheat tortilla, making it not just tasty but also filling.

• ½ cup dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes or oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes – These tomatoes add a burst of flavor and a hint of sweetness to the wrap, making each bite exquisite.
• ⅓ cup homemade Caesar dressing or Caesar dressing of choice, divided – The dressing is the key to a perfect wrap, bringing together all the ingredients with creamy goodness.
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce – While optional, this sauce enhances the flavor of the dressing, adding depth and a slight tang.
• 2 ½ cups cooked diced or shredded chicken breast (about 2 medium breasts; see notes) – Juicy, tender chicken serves as the protein base, making the wrap hearty and satisfying.
• 1 romaine lettuce heart, chopped (about 4 cups) – Fresh romaine provides the necessary crunch and freshness, balancing the rich flavors.
• ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (no green can please!) – This cheese adds a savory note that complements the Caesar dressing beautifully.
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt – Enhances all the flavors, ensuring nothing tastes bland.
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper – Adds a subtle heat and depth, rounding out the flavor profile.
• 4 whole wheat wraps or flatbreads, such as pita, naan, or tortillas – The wrap holds everything together. Whole wheat adds a nutty flavor and a healthy twist.

Recipe Directions for Chicken Caesar Wrap

Making these Chicken Caesar Wraps is a breeze! Follow these steps for a delicious meal that you’ll want to make over and over again.

1. If using dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, place them in a small bowl and cover with hot water to rehydrate. Let them sit for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients, then drain. If using oil-packed tomatoes, simply pat them dry.
2. In a medium bowl, place the Caesar dressing. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
3. Add the chicken, chopped romaine, rehydrated (or dry) sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss well to ensure everything is coated in the dressing.
4. On a clean work surface, lay down your whole wheat wrap. Scoop an even quarter of the filling onto the center of each wrap.
5. Roll the wrap snugly, tucking in two opposing sides to keep the filling from spilling out. This technique helps maintain the integrity of the wrap.
6. If desired, slice the rolled wrap in half for easier eating, and enjoy immediately.
7. For meal prep, wrap each Chicken Caesar Wrap in foil, parchment paper, or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to four hours before serving.
