The Chicken Caesar Wrap is a quick, delicious, and portable version of the classic Caesar salad. It combines tender grilled or roasted chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, tangy Caesar dressing, and parmesan cheese all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. This dish is perfect for busy days when you want a flavorful and satisfying meal but don’t have the time for a sit-down salad. It’s simple to make, customizable, and full of protein and fresh ingredients.
To make a Chicken Caesar Wrap, start by grilling or pan-searing chicken breasts or thighs, seasoning them with a bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder for extra flavor. Once cooked, slice the chicken into thin strips or cubes. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the lettuce by washing and chopping fresh romaine, ensuring it’s crisp and dry.
Next, toss the lettuce with a generous amount of Caesar dressing, making sure each leaf is well-coated. Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese and add some croutons for that signature crunch. You can also add a bit of extra seasoning like black pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Once everything is ready, place the Caesar-salad mixture in the center of a soft tortilla, top with the sliced chicken, and wrap it up tightly. The result is a delicious, handheld meal that brings all the flavors of the classic Caesar salad into a portable form.
The beauty of the Chicken Caesar Wrap is its versatility. You can customize it by adding extra ingredients like avocado for creaminess, cherry tomatoes for freshness, or bacon for extra crunch. You can also make it healthier by using whole wheat wraps or light Caesar dressing to cut down on calories.
This wrap is perfect for lunch on the go, a quick dinner, or even meal prep for the week. It’s filling, packed with protein, and offers all the flavor of a traditional Caesar salad in a convenient, easy-to-eat package.

This recipe is missing something 🤔. Maybe some tomatoes or cucumbers could help? Not bad though.
Gotta say, I was skeptical but this turned out awesome. Thanks!
I added bacon bits to mine, it was sooooo good! You gotta try it!
Hmmm, bacon kind of feels like overkill. I like my wraps simple. What’s the point of adding all that fat?
Bacon bits?! That’s genius! Can’t believe I never thought of that. Gonna try it on my next wrap!
Why do people like Chicken Caesar? It’s just chicken and lettuce, right?
Just chicken and lettuce? Nah, you gotta try the dressing and cheese too. It’s not just basic; it’s a classic for a reason. You just might love it! 🤷♂️
I get where you’re coming from, but Chicken Caesar wraps have this unique flavor combo! The dressing really ties it together. Give it a try, it’s delish! 😋
This wrap is super delicious! My kids loved it!
Loved this! So easy to make and delicious. My kids devoured it!
I don’t know, the dressing feels a bit too thick for my taste.
I get what you mean! Sometimes dressings can be a bit heavy. You could try using less or add some yogurt to lighten it up!
Quick and easy. Perfect for lunch, will make again!
It was ok, but I think I prefer my Caesar salad just as a salad. Wraps feel too complicated.
I get what you mean! Sometimes simpler is better. But I love the convenience of wraps! 🤷♂️
My wrap fell apart. What did I do wrong? Help!
Why bother with cooking when I can just buy it ready-made? 😒
