Chicken Caesar Wrap
These chicken caesar wraps are made from the freshest ingredients and are perfect for meal prep that makes weekday lunches easy and fulfilling.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pound chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt fine
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ½ cup caesar dressing
- 4 pieces lettuce green leaf
- 4 tortillas flour-style
- ½ cup kalamata olives pitted, halved
- ¼ cup capers drained
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil.
- Season one side of the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper. Place seasoned-side down on the skillet and sear over high heat for 4 minutes. Season the up-facing side. Flip over and cook for an additonal 4 minutes. If your chicken breasts are exceptionally thick, you can cover the skillet with a lid, turn heat to low, and let them finish cooking through for 10 minutes. Internal temperature needs to be 165°F, but I usually just measure done-ness with my eyes (make sure there isn't any pink left in thickest part).
- Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes (this helps the juice stay in the chicken) then slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Toss the chicken with the dressing, then assemble the wraps. Lay out a tortilla, line it with lettuce, then add the chicken salad, olives, and capers. Fold the tortilla lengthwise over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll into a secure wrap. Repeat for each wrap.
- Slice each wrap in half and enjoy! Or, if you are meal prepping, slice your wraps in half and store in an airtight container in the fridge for easy grab-and-go lunches.
Notes
Alternatively, you can grill the chicken breast to cook your protein for these wraps.
Ingredient Variations:
- Use gluten-free tortillas. To make this recipe gluten free, use a flour-style tortilla, like the Mission GF Tortillas featured here, to wrap your chicken.
- Use store-bought dressing. Use your favorite Caesar dressing as a sub for the homemade dressing. Or, sub out the caesar dressing all together. Ranch would be a great swap and really tasty with the olives and capers.
- Use rotisserie chicken. Use shredded rotisserie chicken for the ultimate in ease for assembly–no cooking required!
