The most delicious caesar salad wrap

They’re classic, they’re easy to make, and they’re delicious every. single. time.

Yep, I’m talking about caesar wraps over here. Today, we’re making a delicious chicken caesar wrap recipe made with classic casesar salad ingredients. We’ll also be including mouth watering breaded chicken for a complete meal.

The best part? The homemade dressing (you can thank me later) that’s the absolute cherry on top. It’s quick and easy to make, but as always, feel free to use a store bought dressing if preferred!

This recipe yields 4 full wraps or 8 halves. If you’re feeding a crowd, this could be a good option.

Let’s dig in.

Ingredients in this chicken caesar wrap recipe

To make this caesar wrap recipe, you will need classic caesar salad ingredients like chicken, parmesan, croutons, and dressing! The only added ingredients are the wraps, of which you can use your favorite kind! Just make sure they’re the large burrito size.

  • Chicken breasts: The first ingredient is the chicken. You’ll need 1.5 lbs of chicken breasts to make 4 wraps. That should equal around 3 chicken breasts.
  • Flour: 1 cup of flour will be used to bread the chicken.
  • Salt and pepper: Use 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper (each) for a bit of flavor.
  • Eggs: 2 eggs will help create the breadcrumb crust.
  • Panko breadcrumbs: And for the breadcrumbs, use 2 cups of panko. These are flakier than regular breadcrumbs and create such a delicious texture!
  • Grated parmesan: Next, you will need 1 cup of grated parmesan. This is going to taste delicious in the wraps!
  • Oil: Oil will be used to cook the chicken. You will need 1/4 cup of a neutral oil, meaning vegetable oil, smooth olive oil, or avocado oil. You can use more if needed.
  • Lettuce: Add crunchy lettuce to the warps with 1 large head of romaine, chopped small.
  • Croutons: Croutons are a must! Use 1 cup, divided amongst the wraps.
  • Shredded parmesan: Include shredded (or grated) parmesan, dividing 1 cup across the 4 wrpas.
  • Caesar dressing: Finally, add extra flavor with 1/2 cup of caesar dressing. I used the dressing from this recipe.
  • Wraps: Add the filling to 4 extra large burrito wraps!

Tools to help you create delicious caesar wraps

Making this recipe will require a few different kitchen tools. Below is a full list, followed by the measuring cup sizes you’ll need.

  • Cutting board
  • Cutting knife
  • Three wide bowls
  • Stirring utensil
  • Large saucepan
  • Tongs
  • Paper towel-lined plate

For measuring out ingredients, you will need 1/2 tsp, 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup sized measuring cups.

How to make a chicken caesar wrap recipe

The main part of this recipe involves prepping the chicken. After that, it’s all smooth sailing with tossing ingredients, assembling the wraps, and enjoying!

To begin, slice the chicken in half through the width, like butterflying it but cutting it all the way through.

Then, using a meat pounder or rolling pin, pound each of the 4 chicken pieces to 1/4 inch thick.

Set up a station with three wide bowls. In the first bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Whisk both eggs in the second bowl. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.

Going slice by slice, evenly coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, followed by the egg mixture. Then, dip them in the breadcrumbs and coat well, pressing into the crumbs and covering the whole surface on each side.

Next, heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the oil.

Once hot, add two of the chicken breasts at a time, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side. Set the chicken breasts aside on a paper towel-lined plate and repeat until all of them are cooked.

Meanwhile, add the lettuce, croutons, parmesan, and caesar dressing to a bowl. Toss until combined.

Slice the chicken cutlets into bite-sized pieces, and then add them to the lettuce bowl. Toss to evenly combine.

Add the salad mixture to a wrap and wrap tightly. Cut in half and serve!

What’s included in the homemade dressing?

To make homemade caesar dressing, you will need Greek yogurt, mayo, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce, dijon mustard, anchovy paste, avocado oil, salt, and pepper. For a full how-to, check out this healthy chicken caesar salad recipe!

Feeling ambitious? Make your own croutons!

If you want this recipe to be 100% from scratch (in which case, props to you, chef!), you can make your own croutons with 1/2 loaf of French bread, avocado oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

First, cut the bread into cubes and then add the cubes to a bowl with the other crouton ingredients. Toss to evenly coat the bread.

Pour everything onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Toss halfway through.

That’s it!

    Is there a good way to meal prep these? I am worried they won’t keep well throughout the week

    Hi Erin! If I were making these as part of my week meal prep, how should these be prepared differently? Would I leave the dressing out to not make it go soggy? Thanks!

      Hi Sabrina, I would just make with dry lettuce and then add dressing on top as you go. Let me know how they come out!
