Pat dry 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. This is the protein powerhouse for your Chicken Caesar Wraps | Quick High Protein Meal.

In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 minced clove garlic, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined. This creamy Caesar's kiss is essential for your Chicken Caesar Wraps | Quick High Protein Meal.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep it juicy. Then, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or dice them into bite-sized pieces, as preferred for your wraps.
04 -
In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce, and the prepared Caesar dressing. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. This forms the delicious core of your Chicken Caesar Wraps | Quick High Protein Meal.

Lay out 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas. Divide the chicken and lettuce mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it slightly off-center. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese over the filling in each wrap.

# Notes:
01 -
For a lighter option, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the dressing.
02 -
The chicken can be cooked and the dressing made a day in advance to save time. Store separately in the fridge.
03 -
Feel free to add other veggies like cherry tomatoes or thinly sliced red onion for extra flavor and crunch.
