Ingredients in this chicken caesar wrap recipe

To make this caesar wrap recipe, you will need classic caesar salad ingredients like chicken, parmesan, croutons, and dressing! The only added ingredients are the wraps, of which you can use your favorite kind! Just make sure they’re the large burrito size.

  • Chicken breasts: The first ingredient is the chicken. You’ll need 1.5 lbs of chicken breasts to make 4 wraps. That should equal around 3 chicken breasts.
  • Flour: 1 cup of flour will be used to bread the chicken.
  • Salt and pepper: Use 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper (each) for a bit of flavor.
  • Eggs: 2 eggs will help create the breadcrumb crust.
  • Panko breadcrumbs: And for the breadcrumbs, use 2 cups of panko. These are flakier than regular breadcrumbs and create such a delicious texture!
  • Grated parmesan: Next, you will need 1 cup of grated parmesan. This is going to taste delicious in the wraps!
  • Oil: Oil will be used to cook the chicken. You will need 1/4 cup of a neutral oil, meaning vegetable oil, smooth olive oil, or avocado oil. You can use more if needed.
  • Lettuce: Add crunchy lettuce to the warps with 1 large head of romaine, chopped small.
  • Croutons: Croutons are a must! Use 1 cup, divided amongst the wraps.
  • Shredded parmesan: Include shredded (or grated) parmesan, dividing 1 cup across the 4 wrpas.
  • Caesar dressing: Finally, add extra flavor with 1/2 cup of caesar dressing. I used the dressing from this recipe.
  • Wraps: Add the filling to 4 extra large burrito wraps!

How to make a chicken caesar wrap recipe

The main part of this recipe involves prepping the chicken. After that, it’s all smooth sailing with tossing ingredients, assembling the wraps, and enjoying!

To begin, slice the chicken in half through the width, like butterflying it but cutting it all the way through.

Then, using a meat pounder or rolling pin, pound each of the 4 chicken pieces to 1/4 inch thick.

Set up a station with three wide bowls. In the first bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Whisk both eggs in the second bowl. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.

Going slice by slice, evenly coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, followed by the egg mixture. Then, dip them in the breadcrumbs and coat well, pressing into the crumbs and covering the whole surface on each side.

Next, heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the oil.

Once hot, add two of the chicken breasts at a time, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side. Set the chicken breasts aside on a paper towel-lined plate and repeat until all of them are cooked.

Meanwhile, add the lettuce, croutons, parmesan, and caesar dressing to a bowl. Toss until combined.

Slice the chicken cutlets into bite-sized pieces, and then add them to the lettuce bowl. Toss to evenly combine.

Add the salad mixture to a wrap and wrap tightly. Cut in half and serve!

First, cut the bread into cubes and then add the cubes to a bowl with the other crouton ingredients. Toss to evenly coat the bread.

Pour everything onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Toss halfway through.
