  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes to 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Dressing and Cheese

  • ½ cup creamy Caesar dressing
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping

Greens and Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas or soft wraps
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts or thighs evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic, and Italian herbs. Place seasoned chicken in the slow cooker and add fresh lemon juice. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until chicken is tender enough to shred easily.
  2. Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred it thoroughly using two forks to achieve tender, juicy meat that absorbs the Caesar flavors perfectly.
  3. Mix in the Caesar Dressing: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with creamy Caesar dressing, additional fresh lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss well so every bite is flavorful and creamy.
  4. Prepare the Greens and Wraps: Wash and chop crisp romaine lettuce. Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable for easy rolling.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat, add a generous portion of the dressed chicken mixture, top with chopped romaine lettuce, and optionally sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese or freshly cracked black pepper. Roll tightly to secure the filling inside.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut wraps diagonally if desired and serve immediately for the best texture. Alternatively, wrap tightly for later meals.

Notes

  • Choose chicken thighs for juicier meat or breasts for a leaner option.
  • Check chicken tenderness an hour before cooking time ends to avoid overcooking.
  • Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing and improve texture.
  • Add lettuce just before wrapping to maintain crunch and freshness.
  • Use homemade Caesar dressing for enhanced flavor and ingredient control.
