Chopped Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap combines juicy roasted chicken, crispy bacon, crisp lettuce, parmesan, and creamy Caesar dressing all rolled up in a toasted tortilla for a fresh, hearty lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 1 chicken breast
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- For the Wrap:
- 1 large burrito-size tortilla
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 4 bacon strips
- 4 tablespoons store-bought Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon strips and cook 2-4 minutes per side until crispy. Let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 4 minutes per side until golden, then transfer skillet to oven and roast for 9-12 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- Make the Salad: Rinse, dry, and chop lettuce. On a large cutting board, combine lettuce, sliced chicken, chopped bacon, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan. Chop and mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Wrap: Place tortilla on a flat surface. Add salad mixture down the center, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
- Toast the Wrap (Optional): Heat a clean skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil or spray. Place wrap seam-side down and cook 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken for a quicker version.
- Swap iceberg lettuce with romaine for a crunchier texture.
- Customize with extra veggies like tomatoes or avocado.
- Best served immediately after toasting for maximum crispness.
