If you've seen the chopped wrap trend all over your feed, this chicken caesar wrap is the one to make. Everything gets piled onto a cutting board, chopped up, and rolled into a tortilla, and it's become my favorite quick lunch after the gym since it's fast and packed with protein.

Chopping everything together is what makes it so good. It works the dressing through every bite, so you get chicken, bacon, parmesan, and crisp lettuce all at once. Toast it in a pan for a minute and the tortilla goes golden and crunchy.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

For the Chicken

1 Chicken Breast
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
¼ teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
3 tablespoon Olive Oil

For the Wrap

1 Large Burrito-Size Tortilla
1 Head Iceberg Lettuce
4 Bacon Strips
4 tablespoon Store-bought Caesar Dressing
¼ cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Equipment

Large Frying Pan/Skillet
Large Butcher Block/Cutting Board
Knife
Measuring Cups & Spoons
Zester
Air Fryer or Oven

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Bacon

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the bacon strips and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, depending on how crispy you like it.
Remove the bacon, let it cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper (about ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper per breast).
In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When shimmering, add the chicken breasts.
Sear each side for 4 minutes until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
Roast for 9-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 3: Make the Salad

Rinse, dry, and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
On a large cutting board, add the lettuce, sliced chicken, chopped bacon, Caesar dressing, and freshly grated Parmesan.
Use a large knife to chop and mix everything together until well-combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Wrap

Place the tortilla on a flat surface and add the salad mixture down the center.
Fold in the sides and tightly roll up the tortilla into a wrap.

Step 5: Toast the Wrap (Pro Tip!)

To toast the wrap, heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil or a quick spray of cooking spray.
Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp.

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap!

Notes

How To Store:

For meal prep, keep the chopped salad and the tortillas separate and toss the dressing in right before wrapping, so nothing goes soggy.
Assembled wraps are best eaten fresh, but keep in the fridge up to 2 days. Re-toast in a pan to bring back the crisp.

Chop it fine. The finer you chop, the more the dressing works through every bite, that's the whole point of a chopped wrap.

Toast the wrap. A minute per side in a dry skillet gives you that golden, crispy tortilla and helps hold everything together.

Frequently Asked Questions for Chopped Chicken Cesar Wrap

Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Totally, it's a great shortcut. Just chop or shred it and toss it right in with everything else.

Do I need a special tool to chop it?
Nope! A big knife works, and a pizza cutter is even easier. You don't need a fancy chopper for that chopped-salad texture.

How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?
Go easy on the dressing, and if you're prepping ahead, keep the salad and tortilla separate until you're ready to eat. Toasting it helps seal everything in too.
