• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder Shop
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup gluten-free Caesar dressing
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated and washed
• 1/4 cup gluten-free croutons (optional)
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional, omit for dairy-free)

Instructions

1. 1 Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces, ensuring they are in a single layer. Season the chicken with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
2. 2 While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free Caesar dressing and fresh lemon juice until well combined. This will create a bright and tangy sauce for your wraps.
3. 3 Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender chicken.
4. 4 Assemble the wraps by laying out the large romaine lettuce leaves. Spoon a portion of the cooked chicken onto the center of each lettuce leaf. Drizzle generously with the prepared Caesar dressing.
5. 5 If using, sprinkle with gluten-free croutons and grated Parmesan cheese. Fold the lettuce leaves around the filling to create a wrap. Serve immediately for a fresh and delicious gluten-free lunch.

Tips & Notes

• Use the large outer romaine leaves for wrapping and save the small inner leaves for a salad.
• Choose a Caesar dressing labeled gluten-free. Some contain a Worcestershire sauce that is not gluten-free.
• Cut the chicken into small, even pieces so it cooks through to 165°F quickly and fits neatly in each leaf.
