Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and coconut aminos.
Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a blender, combine the avocado, lemon juice, anchovy fillets, dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, and egg. Blend until smooth.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Cut the rested chicken into slices.
To assemble the wraps, lay the romaine lettuce leaves flat. Divide the sliced chicken evenly among the leaves.
Drizzle the avocado Caesar dressing over the sliced chicken.
Gently roll each lettuce leaf to enclose the filling, creating a wrap.
Serve the wraps immediately for the best texture and flavor.
