# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
02 - Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
03 - Cook chicken breasts on the grill pan for 5 to 6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

06 - Top the dressing with chopped romaine lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, shaved Parmesan cheese, and optional cherry tomatoes and red onion slices.
07 - Drizzle additional dressing over fillings as desired. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the ingredients.
08 - Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in 25 minutes flat, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep sessions when you're short on time.
  • The contrast between tender chicken, crispy lettuce, and creamy dressing feels indulgent while staying surprisingly light and energizing.
  • You can customize it endlessly—swap proteins, add vegetables, even use different dressings without losing what makes it special.
02 -
  • Don't skip letting the chicken rest after cooking—those five minutes are the difference between a juicy wrap and one where the chicken is tough and all the liquid runs into the lettuce and makes it soggy.
  • If you're making these ahead, keep the dressing separate from the assembled wraps or the tortilla will get damp and fall apart; add it right before eating.
03 -
  • If your chicken keeps sticking to the pan, it's probably not hot enough yet—wait until you see wisps of smoke before you add it, and resist moving it around for those first few minutes.
  • Shaved Parmesan melts slightly when it hits warm chicken, which is actually perfect—it gets creamy instead of staying hard and flaky, so buy it shaved instead of grated.
