Begin by preparing the chicken: season the chicken breasts with half of the salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing in a small bowl. Combine the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and the remaining salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas and spread about 1 tablespoon of the Caesar dressing over each one.
Place a portion of the chopped romaine lettuce in the center of each tortilla.
Add sliced chicken breast and cherry tomatoes on top of the lettuce.
Drizzle a little more dressing over the top, if desired.
Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
Cut in half and serve immediately for best freshness.
