Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups romaine lettuce, leaves carefully separated

1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup croutons, coarsely crushed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

    Preheat the Grill: Set your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, ensure the grates are clean for optimal grilling.

      Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is heated, lay the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

        Rest the Chicken: After grilling, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the chicken tender.

          Slice the Chicken: After resting, use a sharp knife to slice the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

            Assemble the Wraps: Take a romaine lettuce leaf and place a few slices of grilled chicken in the center. Drizzle your desired amount of Caesar dressing over the chicken, then generously sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Top with crushed croutons to add a delightful crunch.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish your wraps by garnishing them with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately, either on a platter for guests to assemble their own wraps or pre-assembled for convenience.
