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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare the Greens and Wraps: Wash and chop crisp romaine lettuce. Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable for easy rolling.
- 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.
- 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.
