Marinating chicken is crucial for enhancing flavor and ensuring tenderness. When you marinate chicken for your Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps, you're not just adding seasoning; you're infusing the meat with moisture and depth. A good marinade typically includes an acid (like lemon juice or vinegar), oil, and various seasonings that work together to elevate the dish. For optimal flavor absorption, allow your chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, though longer—up to 6 hours—is even better. This extra time allows the spices to penetrate deeply, creating a more flavorful and juicy grilled chicken.

Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup Caesar dressing

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Coat each chicken breast thoroughly with this mixture. For the best flavor, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to retain moisture before slicing it into thin strips.

      Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything together gently until all ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a large wrap flat on a clean surface. Place a generous scoop of the Caesar salad mixture in the center of the wrap, followed by the sliced grilled chicken. Carefully roll the wrap tightly, making sure to fold in the sides as you go to secure all the delicious filling.

          Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the wraps in half diagonally for presentation. Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with lemon wedges for a fresh tang that complements the Caesar flavors.
