If you’ve been following me for a while, you already know that I’m a huge fan of fast, easy, high-protein meals that actually taste amazing.
And this Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap might just be one of my all-time favorites.
I mean, what’s not to love? Juicy marinated chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, a fresh crunch from the greens and croutons—all wrapped up in a spinach tortilla for the ultimate high-protein lunch or dinner.
Plus, I’m using the Power-4 blend from B&W Quality Growers, which is packed with watercress, spinach, arugula, and baby kale. It’s honestly the most nutritious greens blend I’ve ever used, and it makes this wrap taste super fresh and vibrant.
If you're looking for a quick, balanced meal prep idea that’s loaded with protein and greens, this wrap needs to be on your list.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
For the chicken marinade:
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast or thighs
- 1 cup pickle juice (yes, trust me on this)
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the wrap (per wrap):
- 6 oz of your cooked marinated chicken
- 1½ cups Power-4 blend greens from @bwqualitygrowers
- ⅛ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup croutons
- 1 12” spinach wrap
- 2 tablespoon Caesar dressing
How to Make the High-Protein Chicken Caesar Wrap:
- Step 1: Marinate Your Chicken
Start by placing your chicken into a bowl or zip-top bag with the pickle juice. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for the best flavor).
Then drain the pickle juice and season the chicken with garlic powder, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. - Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Grill it, bake it, or pan-sear it—whatever you prefer! I usually grill mine for about 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked and juicy. - Step 3: Build Your Wrap
Lay your spinach wrap flat. Add the cooked chicken, a generous handful of the Power-4 greens, a sprinkle of Parmesan, some crunchy croutons, and your Caesar dressing.
Wrap it up tight like a burrito and slice it in half! - Step 4: Enjoy or Meal Prep
You’ll have some leftover chicken too—perfect for making another wrap later in the week, tossing into salads, or adding to bowls.
