Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Low sodium anchovy paste
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture and place them on the heated grill.
Cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, and salt to make the Caesar dressing.
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas and spread about 2 tablespoons of the Caesar dressing onto each tortilla.
Place 0.5 cup of chopped romaine lettuce in the center of each tortilla.
Add sliced grilled chicken on top of the lettuce.
Sprinkle with a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.
Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately.
