Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas 10-inch (25cm)
16 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 medium breasts
16 ounces Italian dressing 1 standard bottle
½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
1 small head romaine lettuce washed and roughly chopped (about 4 cups)
¼ cup creamy Caesar dressing plus more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil for greasing grill grates

Instructions

Put your chicken breasts in an airtight container.
Pour the entire bottle of Italian dressing over the breasts. Put the lid on and gently shake.
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Preheat the grill to 450°F / 230°C over direct heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
When the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts over direct heat.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C on an instant-read thermometer. The chicken should have visible grill marks and the juices should run clear.
Let the cooked breasts rest for about 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, freshly grate the Parmesan cheese and roughly chop the romaine lettuce. Set both aside.
Slice the breasts into strips.
Lay a tortilla flat. Layer romaine lettuce down the centre, top with sliced chicken strips, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, and drizzle with creamy Caesar dressing. Fold the bottom edge up, then fold in both sides and roll tightly. Slice in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.

Notes

The total active time above reflects preparation and cooking only. The chicken should be marinated for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours before cooking.

Storage: Assembled wraps keep in the fridge wrapped tightly in foil or cling film for up to 2 days. For best results, store the dressing on the side to prevent soggy tortillas.
Make-ahead: Grill and slice the chicken up to 3 days ahead and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Assemble wraps fresh when ready to eat.
Substitutions: Use rotisserie chicken instead of grilled chicken to skip cooking. Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing works as a lighter option. Whole wheat or spinach tortillas can be used for added fibre.
Freezer option: Grilled chicken slices freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before assembling.
Pro tip: Let the grilled chicken rest for a full 5 minutes before slicing so the juices redistribute and the meat stays moist.
