Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Add all of the marinade ingredients to a large plastic bag, add the chicken, seal, and then mix it all in the bag with your hands. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a cast iron skillet or other large frying pan to medium-high and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Turn heat down to medium and add chicken. Cook on one side for about 4-5 minutes before flipping to cook the other for another 4 minutes until done and the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Make the Salad: Add lettuce to a large bowl with lemon pepper seasoning and Parmesan cheese and give a quick mix. When the chicken is ready, add chicken and dressing and mix well.
- Steam Tortillas: Add one flour tortilla to a plate and place a damp half of a paper towel over it. Add the second tortilla and then another damp paper towel. Do this with the remaining tortillas. Place in microwave and cook for 15 seconds. This will slightly steam the tortillas so they're nice and pliable.
- Wrap: Take one tortilla and place it on a large plate or flat surface. Add 1/4 of the salad to the center of the tortilla. Fold up the sides then bring the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, tightly tucking it under the filling, ensuring that the sides are still folded. Tightly wrap, keeping the sides of the tortilla tucked in for a nice tight roll.
- Serve: Slice in half to serve or serve whole. Enjoy!

Notes
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Chicken: Use chicken breasts or chicken tenderloins or chicken breast fillets.
- Caesar Dressing: Add some serious from-scratch flair by making your own Caesar dressing, or use your favorite premade dressing.
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning: Use your favorite although we suggest making your own to control sodium level.
- Storage
- Storage
- Wraps: Store in the fridge for up to two days. After two days the lettuce will start to lose its crunch and the wrap gets a little soggy.
- Chicken: Cook the chicken in advance and store it in the fridge for 2-3 days before adding to the salad and wraps.
- This is a great lunch to make the night before to then take to work or school.
