Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 pieces anchovy fillets
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is well-coated.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a blender or food processor, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy fillets, egg yolk, and coconut aminos. Blend until smooth and emulsified.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while blending, to form a creamy Caesar dressing.
Place a large romaine lettuce leaf flat on a clean surface. Layer a portion of the grilled chicken slices, a few whole capers, and a drizzle of the homemade Caesar dressing.
Carefully roll the lettuce leaf around the filling to form a wrap, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make four wraps in total.
Serve immediately while the chicken is warm, enjoying the crunchy lettuce and savory flavors of the Caesar dressing.
