Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups romaine lettuce, leaves separated

1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup croutons, crushed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, add the chicken breasts, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld.

    Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. You can also use an outdoor grill if available.

      Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken on it. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.

        Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain its juices.

          Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

            Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and place a few slices of grilled chicken in the center. Drizzle with Caesar dressing, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and add crushed croutons for crunch.

              Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately, either on a platter for guests to assemble themselves or pre-assembled for convenience.
