Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing (creamy and tangy)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: 1/2 cup croutons for crunch
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Drizzle with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper over the breasts to infuse rich flavors during cooking.
- Slow Cook the Chicken: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until the chicken can be easily shredded with a fork, ensuring tenderness and juiciness.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized strands, allowing it to blend well with the other wrap ingredients.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat. Add a generous handful of chopped romaine lettuce, followed by shredded chicken. Drizzle Caesar dressing over the top, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and optional croutons for added texture.
- Roll and Serve: Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides to secure everything. Serve immediately for optimal freshness or wrap tightly for an on-the-go meal.
Notes
- Season generously with garlic powder and black pepper for robust chicken flavor.
- Use fresh, crisp romaine lettuce to avoid sogginess and add satisfying crunch.
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- Add Caesar dressing last before rolling to keep wraps from becoming soggy.
- Double the chicken batch for easy meal prep and leftovers.
