Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 4 pieces whole grain wraps
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Juice the lemon into a small bowl, and mince the garlic clove.
In a shallow dish, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Let marinate while the grill is preheating.
In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, remaining lemon juice, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth to make the Caesar dressing.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (73.9°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken is resting, chop the Romaine lettuce and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Warm the whole grain wraps slightly in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 15-20 seconds on each side.
To assemble, lay a wrap on a flat surface. Layer with chopped lettuce, grilled chicken strips, cherry tomatoes, and a generous drizzle of the homemade dressing.
Roll the wrap tightly and cut in half on a diagonal for serving.
Repeat for the remaining wraps. Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious Mediterranean-flavored twist on the classic Caesar wrap.
