Marinating your chicken is a crucial step in ensuring that your Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps are flavorful and juicy. For the best results, it is recommended to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. However, if you have the time, letting it marinate for 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator will enhance the flavor even more. The acid in the Caesar dressing helps tenderize the meat while infusing it with robust flavors. If you can plan ahead, marinating overnight will yield the most succulent chicken, making each bite of your wrap a delightful experience.

Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup creamy Caesar dressing

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly cracked pepper until well combined. Generously coat the chicken breasts with this marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Allow them to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-450°F or 190-230°C). Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Grill each side for approximately 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature registers 165°F (75°C). Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy chicken. After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips.

      Prepare the Salad Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, creamy Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure that the lettuce and tomatoes are evenly coated with the dressing and cheese.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take one whole wheat tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface or large plate. Spoon a generous portion of the Caesar salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top this with a few slices of the grilled chicken.

          Wrap It Up: To create a secure wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly upwards to form a wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling, ensuring each wrap is well-constructed.

            Serve: Use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and an appealing presentation. Arrange the halves on a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately, with extra creamy Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
