# Instructions:
01 -
Cut 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1/2-inch pieces or thin strips. Season with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. This prepares the protein for your Quick High-Protein Chicken Caesar Wraps.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly for your Quick High-Protein Chicken Caesar Wraps.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
04 -
Lay out 2 large (10-inch) whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce onto each tortilla, leaving a border around the edges for easy rolling.
05 -
Divide the cooked chicken evenly over the lettuce on each tortilla. Drizzle generously with the prepared Caesar dressing. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish, over the chicken and lettuce.
06 -
Tightly roll each tortilla into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice each wrap in half diagonally, if desired, for easier handling. Serve your delicious Quick High-Protein Chicken Caesar Wraps immediately for the best fresh taste.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning or the Caesar dressing.
02 -
To meal prep, cook the chicken and prepare the dressing ahead of time. Store separately in the fridge for up to 3 days, then assemble fresh when ready to eat.
03 -
Pair these Quick High-Protein Chicken Caesar Wraps with a side of fresh fruit or a cup of low-sodium vegetable soup for a complete and balanced meal.
04 -
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh. If you must store them, wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for up to 1 day, but the tortillas may soften.
