Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps

2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Croutons (optional, for extra crunch)

Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Begin by preheating your grill to a medium-high heat. While the grill heats up, lightly coat the chicken breasts with olive oil. Generously season both sides with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to enhance the flavor.

    Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is ready, carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grate. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.

      Slice the Chicken: After the chicken has rested, use a sharp knife to slice it into thin strips for easy wrapping and a pleasing presentation.

        Mix the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes. Add the Caesar dressing and grated Parmesan cheese. Gently toss the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with dressing and cheese.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a whole wheat tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface or plate. Spoon a generous portion of the Caesar salad mixture into the center of the tortilla. Top it with sliced grilled chicken, and if you like, sprinkle some croutons on top for an added crunch.

            Wrap it Up: To enclose the filling, fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Ensure it’s securely wrapped. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used.

              Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side, allowing guests to squeeze a zesty kick over their wraps for an extra burst of flavor.
