Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 pieces Whole wheat wraps
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 pieces Hard-boiled eggs
- 4 pieces Anchovy fillets (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mix over each side of the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is grilling, chop the romaine lettuce and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs.
If using, finely chop the anchovy fillets.
In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and sliced chicken.
Gently toss the salad with Caesar dressing to coat all ingredients evenly.
Warm the whole wheat wraps slightly on the grill, about 30 seconds per side.
To assemble, evenly distribute the salad mixture onto each wrap.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and arrange slices of hard-boiled eggs over the salad.
Add a few pieces of chopped anchovy if desired.
Roll the wraps tightly, tucking in the ends as you go.
Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
