Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole grain tortillas
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 0.5 teaspoon Anchovy paste (optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and coat them with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest before slicing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, capers, and anchovy paste (if using) to make the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
Warm the whole grain tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
To assemble the wraps, spread a generous spoonful of the yogurt Caesar dressing onto each tortilla.
Layer slices of grilled chicken over the dressing. Top with chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately.
