I love a classic salad, but when it comes to ease and convenience, this chicken Caesar wrap recipe is truly unbeatable. It makes enough for four servings and can easily be doubled to feed the whole family!

Key Ingredient Notes:
- Chicken breasts – I make a big batch of butterflied chicken at the beginning of the week to add to salads and wraps. It’s a quick and easy timesaver when life gets busy. If you don’t want to butterfly chicken, shredded chicken works great, too.
- Salad dressing – Italian dressing is used to flavor the chicken and keep it juicy. Then, we add Caesar dressing for a classic taste.
- Lettuce – Romaine lettuce works best, but you can swap it with any greens you have on hand.
- Parmesan – Use freshly shredded or shaved Parmesan for the best results.
- Croutons – Adds amazing texture and extra savory, garlic flavor.
- Flour wraps – I like to use 10-inch tortillas, but you can use 8-inch as well. Just be sure to adjust the amount of filling so the wraps aren’t too full.

How to make this recipe:
1. Prepare the chicken
- Marinate the chicken breasts in the Italian dressing.
- Cook the marinated breasts on a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat, flipping them over halfway through.
- Set the cooked chicken aside to cool.
- Slice it into bite-sized pieces.

2. Make the salad filling
- Add the lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, croutons, black pepper, and chicken to a large bowl.
- Toss until the ingredients are well combined and everything is coated with the dressing.

3. Assemble the wraps
- Lay the wraps out flat on a clean surface.
- Divide the salad mixture evenly, placing it in the center of each wrap.
- Roll up each chicken Caesar wrap, folding in the sides as you go. This helps encase the filling so they don’t fall out as you eat!

Recipe Tips:
- Allow plenty of time to marinate. The key to creating tender, mouthwatering chicken is to allow plenty of time for the meat to absorb the dressing. For the best results, let it marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Check the internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and is safe to eat.
- Avoid overstuffing the wraps. You don’t want your filling to extend all the way to the edges of the wraps. Otherwise, they’ll break apart, and your meal will go all over the place! Instead, add just enough filling to cover the center of the wraps.
- Prepare in advance. For quick assembly, cook the chicken up to 3-4 days in advance. Then, toss the ingredients together for the salad, roll up the wraps, and enjoy!
- Make it a meal! Potato chips, pasta salad, fresh fruit, soup, french fries, or coleslaw are all great options for serving with chicken Caesar wraps.
Storing Tips:
- Store leftover chicken Caesar wraps in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- For the best results, wrap them in foil to keep them fresh.
- I do not recommend freezing this recipe!
