High Protein Chicken Caesar Wrap (Print Version)

Grilled chicken, romaine and light Caesar folded in whole wheat tortillas for a protein-rich, quick lunch or dinner.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 9 ounces total)
02 - 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
03 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Wrap & Fillings

04 - 2 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
05 - 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
06 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

→ Caesar Dressing

07 - 3 tablespoons light Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry, brush both sides with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, and season evenly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
02 - Place chicken on the hot pan and cook 6 to 7 minutes per side until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F (74°C) or juices run clear.
03 - Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes to retain juices, then slice thinly against the grain.
04 - Lay the tortillas flat and spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of light Caesar dressing over the surface of each one.
05 - Distribute chopped romaine evenly down the center of each tortilla, top with the sliced chicken, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan over each portion.
06 - Fold the short sides in toward the center, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling, slice each wrap in half on the bias, and serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It packs serious protein without feeling heavy or fussy—almost like a secret shortcut to feeling full and energized.
  • The flavor and crunch combo gets better every time (especially with a squeeze of lemon or a few sneaky croutons tucked in).
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing is not optional—rush it, and you’ll lose all the juiciness.
  • Warm tortillas crack less and wrap tighter; a quick zap in the microwave (covered with a damp towel) saved my wraps more times than I can count.
03 -
  • Letting the chicken rest is the difference between tender slices and dry disappointment.
  • A quick pan-toast or open flame char on the tortillas makes them flexible and adds flavor you’ll miss if you skip it.
