Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 large Romaine lettuce leaves, separated and rinsed

1 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup croutons (optional, for added crunch)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ensuring it's nice and hot for even cooking. While the grill heats up, brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil. Generously season each breast with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

    Grill the Chicken: Once your grill is ready, carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts onto it. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.

      Assemble Lettuce Wraps: While the chicken is resting, prepare the Romaine lettuce leaves by washing them thoroughly and gently patting them dry with a paper towel. On each lettuce leaf, add a generous drizzle of Caesar dressing, ensuring a good coat for flavor.

        Add Chicken: Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. Place a few strips of grilled chicken evenly on top of the dressed lettuce leaves.

          Finish the Wraps: Sprinkle each lettuce wrap with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. If you like an added crunch, top with croutons. For extra flavor, drizzle a bit more Caesar dressing over the top or serve some on the side for dipping.

            Garnish and Serve: For an appealing finish, garnish your wraps with finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve alongside lemon wedges, which can be squeezed over the wraps for a delightful zing.

              Enjoy your delicious and healthy Grilled Chicken Caesar Lettuce Wraps with friends and family!
