Gluten-Free Notes for Gluten-Free Chicken Caesar Wrap in Lettuce: This recipe is naturally gluten-free by avoiding all gluten-containing grains and using certified gluten-free dressings and optional croutons.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 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
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
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
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
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
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
- If substituting olive oil for butter, use about 3/4 the amount (olive oil is 100% fat, butter is ~80%).
- Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and has far more flavor than pre-grated powders.
- Zest the lemon before juicing — it's nearly impossible to zest after the lemon is squeezed.
