Get out of your lunchtime rut with these satisfying wraps.
Chunks of juicy chicken, crisp romaine, plenty of creamy Caesar dressing, and sun-dried tomatoes all wrapped up in a fluffy large flour tortilla, this Caesar wrap will breathe new life into your mid-day meal.
While I do a decent job planning our dinners, lunch goes something like this: open fridge. Dig around in fridge. Sigh and eat the same meal I’ve had for the last month straight.
That’s not so bad if it’s something yummy and interesting (Roasted Vegetable Salad; Asian Chicken Wraps), but more often than not, I’m in a rut.
This chicken Caesar wrap has made me look forward to lunch again! It’s hard to argue with Caesar magic. From Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad to Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad, that sharp, creamy dressing has a way of making any meal it touches desirable.

Key Ingredients
You’ll find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below, but here are some notes to keep in mind.
- Chicken. You can use homemade Shredded Chicken, Baked Chicken Breast, or any other chicken you have on hand, or pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
- Romaine. Crisp, refreshing, and a classic in chicken Caesar salad recipes. You can swap butter lettuce, kale (chopped and massaged), or other mixed greens of your choice.
- Caesar Dressing. My homemade Caesar Dressing is a lightened-up version that doesn’t skimp on any of the beloved creaminess or garlicky and tangy flavors, including anchovy paste and lemon juice. Feel free to swap in a store-bought bottle if you’re in a time crunch.
- Worcestershire. Adds irresistible umami flavor and complexity to the dressing.
- Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Sun-dried tomatoes pack a punch of delicious, sweet, tart flavor.
- Parmesan. A must-have in all Caesar recipes. The Parmesan adds a salty, cheesy element that complements the dressing perfectly.
How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps
Make the Filling. Stir the Caesar dressing and Worcestershire together. Toss in the tender chicken, romaine, tomatoes, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
Assemble. Divide the Caesar chicken salad filling onto tortillas or wraps. Wrap them up tightly and ENJOY!
Recipe Variations
- Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap. Turn up the heat by adding red pepper flakes to your Caesar dressing.
- Bacon Chicken Caesar Wrap. YUM! Add chopped Air Fryer Bacon or Oven Baked Bacon to your wrap for a tasty twist.
- Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap. Try my Air Fryer Fried Chicken Breast, Air Fryer Chicken Tenders, or Baked Fried Chicken in your wraps.
How to Keep Your Wraps From Getting Soggy
Chicken Caesar wraps will get soggy after more than a few hours. To prevent this:
- Wait to Assemble. Wait to assemble your wraps until just before serving. This will keep the wrap from becoming soggy as it sits in the refrigerator in a large bowl.
- Wrap the Wrap. Wrapping your wrap in parchment paper or aluminum foil will help hold its shape and keep moisture out.
- Use a Hearty Wrap. Flour tortillas may become soggy more quickly than pita or Homemade Naan (for even more soggy resistance, toast the naan or pita first). If you know your wrap is going to be sitting for awhile, choose a wrap that can withstand some moisture without getting soggy.

Ingredients
- ½ cup dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes or oil packed sun-dried tomatoes
- ⅓ cup homemade Caesar dressing or Caesar dressing of choice, divided
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce optional for a more intense flavor
- 2 ½ cups cooked diced or shredded chicken breast* about 2 medium breasts; see notes
- 1 romaine lettuce heart chopped (about 4 cups)
- ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (no green can please!)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 whole wheat wraps or flatbreads such as pita, naan, or tortillas
Instructions
- If using dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, place them in a small bowl and cover with hot water to rehydrate. Let sit for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients, then drain. If using oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, simply pat them dry.
- Place the Caesar dressing in a medium bowl. Stir together with 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Add the chicken, romaine, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat in the dressing.
- For each chicken Caesar wrap, lay your wrap down on a work surface. Pile each wrap with 1/4 of the chicken Caesar filling. Roll snugly, tucking in two opposing sides to keep the filling from falling out. If desired, slice in half. Enjoy immediately or wrap in foil, parchment paper, or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Notes
- *Try one of these easy ways to cook chicken breast (my favorite is a grilled chicken Caesar wrap or baked bone-in chicken): simple Shredded Chicken, Instant Pot Chicken, Crock Pot Shredded Chicken, Air Fryer Chicken Breast, Baked Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast; Baked Bone-In Chicken Breast. A store-bought rotisserie chicken works well too.
- TO STORE: Refrigerate leftover filling in an airtight storage container for up to 2 days.

Mmmmmm….loving these sandwiches my friend!! Bring on the bacon:)
Did I miss seeing the bacon in this recipe? Was just reading some comments. I was thinking bacon instead of the sun dried tomato perhaps. I’ve made your dressing for this also. Hope it’s a hit for lunch today with friends.
I do enjoy your recipes! Friends must love being invited over to your place for dinner.
Hi Karen! There is no bacon in the original recipe but I did include some variations in the post that calls for bacon. Just add the cooked amount that you prefer. Enjoy!
Delicious and perfect for a hot summer day. The addition of the Worcestershire sauce to the Caesar dressing was inspired, really added a lovely additional flavor. It’s a keeper!
Hi Jean! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This is fabulous. So much flavor. (I did add oven baked bacon bits and oven baked sourdough croutons). I’ve already passed it over to a co-worker who gave it 5 stars as well.
Hi Sue! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This was fabulous and so very easy. I think the sundried tomatoes are an interesting addition. I’m making it again using leftover caesar salad from last night, so it will also have avocado and bacon bits.
Hi Sue! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This is fabulous! So tasty and easy. I’ve made it twice and I’ve given the recipe to three other people so far. Rave reviews. (Added bacon)
Hi Sue! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Very tasty and so easy to make. I like taking wraps to work for lunch so I didn’t mix in the lettuce or croutons but rather put the seasoned chicken on the tortilla then the lettuce and finally the crushed croutons and wrapped it up. The lettuce remained crisp and the croutons remained crunchy. Will definitely be making this again! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it, Amelia!
Wow, This recipe is not complex and that is the beauty of it! I didn’t have romaine on hand so I used shredded iceberg lettuce. Everything wrapped up nicely without falling apart. New lunch favorite for sure!
This wrap was exactly what I needed for a quick and satisfying meal! The dressing coated the chicken perfectly, and the Worcestershire gave it an extra kick of flavor. The romaine added that much-needed crunch, and I threw in some extra black pepper for a little kick. Such a great lunch idea that I’ll be making again and again! Thank you so much!
So glad to hear you enjoyed it, Krystal!
