Quick and easy chopped chicken caesar wraps made with frozen lightly breaded chicken breast chunks, low calorie caesar dressing, crunchy parmesan crisps, and chopped romaine lettuce. Each one of these chicken wraps has 27 grams of protein and tons of fiber with just 305 calories.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Here’s a look at everything you need to make low calorie chicken caesar wraps.
- Kirkland Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks – One of Costco’s greatest product drops ever. There are alternatives from companies like Just Bare, Tyson, Perdue, Real Good Foods, and Trader Joe’s. Can’t find any or want to go without breading? Make the adult chicken nugget.
- Bolthouse Farms Creamy Caesar Dressing – Compare 50 calories per 2 tablespoon serving to 120-150+ calories per serving in standard caesar dressings. The recipe doesn’t call for much, so the calorie savings are up to you.
- Mission Carb Balance Tortillas – Any flour tortilla or wrap works. Other high protein options include Joseph’s lavash (used in my bbq chicken wraps) or protein tortillas like I used for sheet pan chicken roll ups.
- Parm Crisps – These are a higher protein swap for croutons or toasted breadcrumbs. Either work fine instead of the crisps.
- Shaved Parmesan Cheese – You can probably even omit the extra cheese to save a few calories if you use parm crisps.
- Romaine Lettuce – Any greens work. Chopped kale, cabbage, brussels sprouts, etc.
How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps
Begin by baking or air frying the frozen chicken breast chunks until they’re cooked through and crispy. I actually like to bake the chicken a few minutes longer than the packaging recommend to get it extra crispy.
Once the chicken is ready, start assembling the rest of your fillings while the chicken cools. You don’t want to use piping hot chopped chicken since it will wilt the lettuce and steam everything inside the wrap.
Once everything else is chopped and in a mixing bowl, chop the chicken, add it to the rest, and stir everything together to create your filling.
Briefly warm the tortillas in either a pan over medium heat or in a microwave while wrapped in a damp paper towel. You only want the tortillas to be easy to wrap, not warm. Again, you want to keep the filling cool.
Roll everything up like a burrito and you’re ready to rock. If you used a pan to warm the tortillas, you can pop the wraps back in the pan very briefly with the sealed side down to help seal the wraps shut.
I recommend slicing the wraps in half right away to vent any possible steam and improve presentation tenfold. Look at these beauties!
As for serving, a great way to turn this snack into a meal and give it an extra protein boost is with chicken chips. Yes, they’re basically potato chips but made from chicken. Sounds weird, but they’re deliciously crispy and packed with protein.
I served my buffalo chicken wraps with Wilde’s queso flavored chicken chips, and I served their salt and vinegar flavor alongside these chicken caesar wraps. You can find them in Whole Foods, Kroger/Fred Meyer, Walmart, or use their store locator. They’re not paying me to say any of this, by the way.
I hate to say it, but that’s a wrap. You should be ready to tackle the wrap game and get cooking. If you love these high protein chicken wraps, I always appreciate recipe reviews!
And as a final note in case you love this style of recipe, my crunchy chicken wraps pair this same chicken with a buffalo ranch slaw, leafy greens, and gorgonzola cheese.
Easy Chicken Caesar Wraps
Lightly breaded chicken breast pieces with light caesar dressing, chopped romaine lettuce, crunchy parmesan crisps, and shaved parmesan wrapped in high protein tortillas.
Ingredients
- 12 oz Kirkland Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks* (or your choice of frozen chicken breast pieces)
- 5 oz Romaine Lettuce
- 1 oz Parmesan Crisps or Croutons
- 1 oz Shaved Parmesan
- 1/4 cup (60g) Bolthouse Farms Creamy Caesar Dressing
- 4 Mission Carb Balance Tortillas
Instructions
- Bake the chicken according to the instructions on its packaging.
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it cool briefly while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- Use a knife to chop the lettuce and the parmesan crisps or croutons into small pieces. You can skip the lettuce chopping if you prefer.
- Once the chicken has slightly cooled, chop it into bite size pieces and add to a bowl with the lettuce, parmesan crisps, and dressing. Stir everything together to evenly mix.
- Warm the tortillas in a pan over medium heat for 20-30 seconds or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-20 seconds. You want the tortillas to be pliable but not hot.
- Add the chicken mixture to the tortillas and roll like a burrito to seal. If you’re using a pan to warm the tortillas, you can place the wraps in the pan seal-side-down for 20-30 seconds to help seal them shut.
- Slice the wraps in half and serve.
Notes
*If you don't have a Costco near you, there are other non-Kirkland lightly breaded chicken breast options like Tyson, Perdue, Just Bare, and Real Good Foods.

I came across this recipe last week and our family of 6 has already had these wraps twice! The first time, we assembled exactly as the instructions described. DELICIOUS. And so easy. The second time was one of those night we had 5 overlapping sporting events, so I did everything except assemble the wraps. I put lettuce/chicken/dressing/cheese mixture in a huge Tupperware in a cooler, packed the wraps separately, and assembled the wraps on the go, while sitting on various sidelines. It worked SO well. It held up super well (nothing was soggy, even though I made it all in the morning and we didn’t eat it until evening), and I was thrilled to have an “on the go” meal option with both protein and a vegetable. 🤯 what a win!
