Ingredients

Protein

  • 1
    1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

Produce

  • 1
    1 head of romaine lettuce
  • 2
    0.5 lemon
  • 3
    2 cloves garlic

Dairy & Condiments

  • 1
    0.5 cup cup mayonnaise
  • 2
    0.25 cup cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3
    1 tbsp tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4
    1 tsp teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 5
    2 tbsp tablespoons olive oil

Seasoning

  • 1
    0.5 tsp teaspoon salt
  • 2
    0.25 tsp teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps to get a good sear. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2

Heat Skillet

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The pan should be hot before adding the chicken to ensure a good sear. Be careful to avoid splatter when adding the chicken to the hot pan.

3

Sear the Chicken

Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.

4

Rest the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

5

Make the Caesar Dressing

While the chicken rests, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, the juice of half a lemon, and minced garlic. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and the dressing is smooth.

6

Slice the Chicken

Slice the rested chicken into thin strips. Be careful when using a knife. It is important to rest the chicken before slicing.

7

Prepare the Lettuce

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly. Choose the largest, most intact leaves for the wraps. Avoid leaves with tears or bruises. Pat the leaves dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner.

8

Assemble the Wraps

Place a few slices of the chicken onto each lettuce leaf. Drizzle generously with the prepared Caesar dressing.

9

Serve and Garnish

Serve the wraps immediately. You can optionally garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or black pepper. The wraps are best eaten fresh to prevent the lettuce from becoming soggy.

Recipe Tips

  • For a spicier dressing, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • If you don’t have Dijon mustard, use yellow mustard, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Store leftover chicken and dressing separately in the refrigerator to prevent the lettuce from becoming soggy.
  • You can substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
  • To make the wraps more filling, consider adding some avocado or chopped tomatoes.
