Start by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a marinade. Brush this mixture over the chicken breasts on both sides.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill pan and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce with shredded Parmesan cheese and the low-sodium Caesar dressing. Toss thoroughly until the lettuce is evenly coated.
Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips.
To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about a cup of the lettuce mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with sliced chicken and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll from the bottom to the top to form a tight wrap.
Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful low sodium chicken Caesar wrap!
