After grilling your chicken breasts, one crucial step is to allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Resting is essential as it lets the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. If you slice the chicken too soon, you risk losing those delicious juices, leaving you with dry pieces. Aim to let your chicken rest for about 5-10 minutes on a cutting board, covered loosely with aluminum foil to keep it warm. This simple technique can significantly enhance the overall taste and texture of your Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps.

Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts

4 whole wheat tortillas

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2 cup Caesar dressing

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup croutons

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for grilling

Optional: lemon wedges and extra Parmesan for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Coat each chicken breast thoroughly in the mixture, ensuring even coverage. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it thinly to retain its juices.

      Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Toss all the ingredients together gently but thoroughly, ensuring the romaine is evenly coated with the dressing for optimal flavor.

        Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, lay out one whole wheat tortilla. Spoon a generous portion of the Caesar salad mixture into the center of the tortilla, followed by a layer of the sliced grilled chicken to create a hearty filling.

          Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then begin rolling it up from the bottom. Tuck the filling as you roll to ensure a secure wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, chicken, and salad mixture until all wraps are assembled.

            Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easy handling and serve immediately. For an added touch of freshness, include a lemon wedge and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese on top.
