Print Recipe

A quick, healthy, and mess-free lunch wrap combining seasoned chicken, creamy avocado, tangy Caesar dressing, and crisp romaine lettuce leaves.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
  • Large romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Caesar dressing
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1g) garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: croutons or toasted nuts (pine nuts or sliced almonds for gluten-free option)

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breast into thin strips about 1/2 inch thick and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  3. Cook chicken strips in a single layer for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Avoid crowding the pan.
  4. While chicken cooks, rinse and dry romaine leaves thoroughly. Slice or mash avocado and drizzle with lemon juice.
  5. Lay one or two lettuce leaves flat, spread a spoonful of avocado, add a few chicken strips, then drizzle about 1 tablespoon of Caesar dressing over each wrap.
  6. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Add croutons or toasted nuts if desired for extra crunch.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture. If prepping ahead, store components separately and assemble just before eating.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning chicken. Marinate chicken for 15 minutes in lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic powder for extra flavor if time allows. Drizzle lemon juice on avocado to prevent browning. Do not overfill lettuce leaves to avoid tearing. Pre-cooked rotisserie chicken can be used as a shortcut.
