Slow-Cooked Chicken Caesar Wraps

Slow-Cooked Chicken Caesar Wraps

Slow-Cooked Chicken Caesar Wraps combine tender, juicy slow-cooked chicken with classic Caesar salad flavors, wrapped in soft tortillas for an easy, flavorful, and convenient meal perfect for lunch or meal prep.

  • Total Time: Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts or thighs (use thighs for extra juiciness)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Dressing and Toppings

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup creamy Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 cup croutons for extra crunch

Wraps

  • 4–6 whole wheat or flour tortillas

Optional Add-ins

  • Crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce (for a spicy kick)
  • Sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, or shredded carrots (for extra veggies)
  • Bacon bits (for smoky crunch)

Instructions

  1. Season and Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts or thighs with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken to keep it moist and enhance flavor while cooking.
  2. Slow Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken in your slow cooker. Set it on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Retain the cooking juices to mix with the Caesar dressing later for extra flavor.
  4. Toss with Caesar Dressing and Parmesan: Combine the shredded chicken with creamy Caesar dressing and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to coat every bit of chicken with the dressing’s creamy, tangy goodness.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas, spread the dressed chicken evenly over each, add chopped romaine lettuce, and sprinkle with optional croutons or other desired extras. Roll tightly to form each wrap.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve immediately for the best texture, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper if taking on the go or saving for later.

Notes

  • Use thick Caesar dressing to ensure it clings better to the chicken and lettuce.
  • Warm your tortillas gently before assembling to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
  • Use dressing sparingly to avoid soggy wraps.
  • Add lettuce just before serving to keep it crisp.
  • If preparing ahead, store chicken and greens separately to maintain freshness.
