The result is a balanced, filling wrap that works for lunch, meal prep, or a fast weeknight dinner.

    Crisp, refreshing, and the classic base for Caesar flavors.

    Soft, buttery, salty layers of flavor.

  • 1/4 cup (60g) Bolthouse Farms Creamy Caesar Dressing

How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps (Step-by-Step)

These wraps are incredibly simple, but a few small details can elevate them from “good” to “restaurant quality.” Follow these steps and you’ll make a wrap that stays together, tastes amazing, and has the perfect balance of textures.

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

You can prepare the chicken in three different ways depending on the texture you want:

Air Fryer (Best Option – Extra Crispy)

Cook chicken breast chunks at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway.
This gives you beautifully golden, crunchy pieces that hold up in the wrap.

Oven (Crisp but softer)

Spread chicken on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 15–20 minutes.

Skillet (Fastest)

Add a splash of oil to a skillet and cook chicken pieces on medium heat until warmed through and lightly crisped.

Once cooked, cut any large chunks into bite-sized pieces. Smaller pieces distribute flavor better in wraps.

Step 2: Prepare the Lettuce

Chop or tear the romaine into small pieces.
This is important—large leaves make a wrap harder to roll and more likely to burst.

To keep lettuce crisp:

  • Rinse well

  • Spin or pat dry

  • Refrigerate until ready to use

Dry lettuce = no soggy wraps.

Step 3: Mix the Caesar Salad Base

In a bowl, combine:

  • Chopped romaine

  • Bolthouse Farms Creamy Caesar dressing

  • Half of the shaved Parmesan

  • Crushed Parmesan crisps or croutons

  • A pinch of black pepper (optional but delicious)

Gently toss until everything is well coated.

Tip: Add the crisps last to preserve as much crunch as possible.
