Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap
RECIPE COURTESY OF JEFF MAURO
Level: Easy
Total: 4 hr 40 min
Prep: 15 min
Inactive: 4 hr
Cook: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Chicken:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 8-ounces each)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 teaspoon)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sour Cream Caesar Dressing:
1 cup low-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 anchovy, smeared with a fork to a paste
1/2 clove garlic, minced or grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sandwich Build:
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 heart romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-size pieces
Parmesan Croutons, recipe follows
Four 12-inch sundried tomato tortillas, toasted with a little oil
Parmesan Croutons:
1/2 French baguette day-old, crust removed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
For the chicken: Place the chicken in a shallow dish just large enough to hold them. Whisk the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until combined. Pour the oil mixture over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the oil mixture and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Thinly slice the chicken against the grain and set aside.
For the dressing: Mix the sour cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, anchovy, garlic and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
For the sandwich build: Place the sliced chicken, 1/2 cup sour cream Caesar dressing, tomatoes, romaine and Parmesan Croutons in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture.
Parmesan Croutons:
Yield: 4 cups
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the bread and Parmesan to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the oil and mix well. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Perfecting the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap
When I asked y’all your opinions about what belongs in a chicken Caesar wrap, the responses were truly wild. Intentionally soggy lettuce? Grape halves? French fries inside? Chickpeas??? The passion was irrefutable. Whether I agreed or not—well, that’s another story. After many tests and a few tribulations, I landed on Chicken Caesar Wrap My Way™: Crunchy-gone- soggy-gone crunchy croutons, juicy diced dark meat chicken, something called a “lettuce hug,” blender Parm, a quality wrap, and, of course, the world’s greatest Caesar dressing. Let’s jump in, shall we?
