Healthy Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps for a Quick Lunch

I love making Healthy Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps for lunch. They are light, fresh, and packed with flavor. Plus, they are super simple to put together, making them perfect for busy days when you need something quick and delicious.

This wrap is a great twist on the classic Caesar salad but in a portable form. Instead of eating it with a fork, you can enjoy it wrapped in a soft tortilla. The combination of grilled chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing, and parmesan cheese makes every bite delicious.

Another reason I love this recipe is that it’s a healthier option. Traditional Caesar salads can be heavy because of the dressing, but in this version, we use a lighter dressing and whole wheat tortillas for a better balance of nutrients.

You can also customize it by adding extra veggies, using Greek yogurt-based dressing, or even swapping the tortilla for lettuce wraps if you want fewer carbs.

What’s in Healthy Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps?

This wrap has all the flavors of a classic Caesar salad but in a soft tortilla. It includes grilled chicken, crunchy romaine, parmesan cheese, and creamy Caesar dressing. You can also add extra ingredients like tomatoes, croutons, or avocado to make it even better.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 4 large whole wheat tortillas
• 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (light or Greek yogurt-based for a healthier option)
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional)
• 1/4 cup croutons, crushed (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (for extra seasoning)

How to Make Healthy Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps:

1. Cook the Chicken – Heat a pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp should be 165°F/75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
2. Prepare the Salad Mixture – In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss until everything is well coated. If you like extra crunch, add some crushed croutons.
3. Assemble the Wraps – Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a handful of the salad mixture in the center. Add a few slices of chicken on top. Sprinkle a little extra black pepper for flavor. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
4. Toast the Wrap (Optional but Recommended) – Heat a clean pan over medium heat. Place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down and toast for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy. This step helps keep the wrap together and adds extra texture.
5. Serve and Enjoy – Cut the wrap in half for easy eating. Serve with extra Caesar dressing for dipping if desired. Enjoy it immediately or pack it for lunch!
