Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds), cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tsp seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s)
  • 1 1/2 tsp black pepper, divided

Dressing

  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 5 to 6 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Salad and Wrap Ingredients

  • 1 heart of romaine, chopped (6 to 8 cups)
  • 1 1/4 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 (12-inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces, seasoned salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook the chicken while stirring occasionally until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, set the chicken aside.
  2. Prepare the Dressing and Salad: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined. Add the chopped romaine lettuce to the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Stir in 3/4 cup of the freshly grated parmesan cheese and toss again to combine thoroughly.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the whole-wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the dressed romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, and cooked chicken among the tortillas. Sprinkle each wrap with 2 tablespoons of the remaining parmesan cheese. Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to enclose the filling completely. Use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half diagonally for serving.

Notes

  • The seasoned salt provides a flavorful base for the chicken; alternatively, you can use your favorite seasoning blend.
  • For extra crunch, add sliced cucumbers or bell peppers to the wrap.
  • The wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; wrap tightly in plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
  • Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing option.
  • Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
