Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 whole pita breads
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup croutons
Marinade
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Assembly
- Open each pita bread and spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing inside. Add a handful of chopped romaine lettuce.
- Place sliced grilled chicken on top of the lettuce, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and croutons.
- Carefully fold the pita over the filling, tucking in the sides to secure the contents. Wrap tightly to prevent any spills.
Serving
- Serve the pita wraps immediately while the chicken is warm. Pair with a light side salad or soup for a complete meal.
Storage
- Wrap each pita individually in foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Best consumed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
