Ingredients
200g cooked chicken (grilled, pan-seared, or frozen breaded)
2 large flour wraps or tortillas
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Optional: Chopped red onion
15g mini croutons
15g shredded or shaved parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Caesar dressing (adjust to taste)
Instructions
1. Prep the Chicken
If using raw chicken breast: cook over medium heat in a skillet with a little olive oil, season to taste, and cook until internal temp reaches 165°F. Let cool, then dice or slice.
If using frozen breaded chicken: follow package instructions. Let cool before slicing.
2. Build the Salad Base
In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, red onion, parmesan, and croutons. Add in cooled, chopped chicken and Caesar dressing. Toss everything together until well-coated.
3. Wrap It Up
Lay out your tortillas. Divide the salad mix between them, fold tightly into wraps, and slice in half if desired.
4. Pack or Store
Wrap each in parchment or plastic wrap for easy storage. Keep chilled and eat cold — no microwave needed.
Recipe Tips
Consider your dressing: Store bought dressings will vary greatly in calorie content, so keep this in mind while grocery shopping or calorie tracking. For instance: Panera’s store-bought dressing is 100 calories per 2 tablespoons, while Newman’s Own is 170 calories for the same quantity.
Swap your wrap: To further reduce calories, use a low-carb tortilla.
Add fiber: Pair with a fruit or veggie snack like carrots, snap peas, or apple slices.
