Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of romaine lettuce, leaves separated

½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup croutons (optional for crunch)

Freshly cracked black pepper (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for a deeper flavor).

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: While the chicken is resting, wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. You’ll want larger leaves for wrapping, so choose those that are unbroken.

        Assemble the Wraps: Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. On each lettuce leaf, layer some sliced chicken, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a few croutons for added texture.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish with a touch of freshly cracked black pepper and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the wraps just before eating for an extra burst of flavor.
