Time 4h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 8-ounces each)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 teaspoon)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup low-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 anchovy, smeared with a fork to a paste
1/2 clove garlic, minced or grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 heart romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-size pieces
Parmesan Croutons, recipe follows
Four 12-inch sundried tomato tortillas, toasted with a little oil
1/2 French baguette day-old, crust removed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Place the chicken in a shallow dish just large enough to hold them. Whisk the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until combined. Pour the oil mixture over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the oil mixture and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Thinly slice the chicken against the grain and set aside.
  • For the dressing: Mix the sour cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, anchovy, garlic and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • For the sandwich build: Place the sliced chicken, 1/2 cup sour cream Caesar dressing, tomatoes, romaine and Parmesan Croutons in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the bread and Parmesan to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the oil and mix well. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total), trimmed
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 small romaine hearts
⅓ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
4 8- to 9-inch spinach wraps, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high.

  • Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Sprinkle chicken with salt. Cut romaine in half lengthwise, leaving root ends intact. Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Two minutes before the chicken is done, place the romaine on the rack and grill, turning once or twice, until lightly charred and beginning to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes total.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Cut the root ends off the romaine, then chop the leaves. Add the chicken, lettuce and Parmesan to the bowl with the dressing; toss until well combined. Fill each wrap with about 1 1/2 cups of the salad and roll closed.

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 10h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

12 ounces romaine hearts (from 1 to 2 heads), chopped
Dressing, recipe follows
Eight 10-inch/burrito-size flour tortillas
Roasted Chicken, recipe follows
2 cups store-bought Parmesan crisps, preferably Moon Cheese, or see recipe below for homemade
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
6 tablespoons (96 grams) mayonnaise
1/4 cup (60 grams) lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1/4 cup (63 grams) Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 cup (120 grams) extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (60 grams) shredded Parmesan
Pinch kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 4-pound whole chicken
1/4 cup (60 grams) mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces shredded Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Steps:

  • Coat the lettuce in some Dressing and reserve the remaining Dressing for serving on the side.
  • To assemble a wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Pile about 1 1/2 ounces dressed lettuce on the lower third of the tortilla. Top with 3 to 4 slices chicken (more or less, as desired) then sprinkle with the Parmesan crisps. Fold the wrap over the filling, tuck in the sides and continue to roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, lettuce, chicken and Parmesan crisps.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and crisp the tortilla for a few minutes on both sides, or until golden. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
  • Remove the wraps to a work surface. Cut in half on a bias and serve with additional Dressing for dipping.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire and garlic in a mixing bowl or measuring cup. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency with a little water if it is too thick.
  • Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the outside and in the cavity of the chicken and rub into and underneath the skin. Place on a rack over a sheet pan and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature before cooking.
  • Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic and Worcestershire, then schmear the mixture all over the chicken. Roast the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees F, begin checking at around 50 minutes. (If the skin gets too dark, tent with aluminum foil.) Allow to rest 30 minutes before carving. Carve the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a medium bowl, add the cheese and cayenne pepper. Toss to combine. Spread the cheese evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, crispy and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, then break up into shards.

CLASSIC GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WRAPS



Classic Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps image

Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps are simple to make for a delicious snack or lunch. In a hurry, you can even cheat by using a pre-made dressing. Easy.

Provided by Elaine Lemm

Categories     Entree     Lunch

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Chicken:
4 medium free-range chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Dressing:
1 small clove garlic, crushed
3 small anchovy fillets
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Wrap:
1 head romaine lettuce, finely shredded
2 ounces Parmesan cheese shavings
8 store-bought or homemade soft wraps

Steps:

  • Lightly flatten the chicken breasts, one at a time, with a meat mallet of the back of a meat cleaver, taking care not to rip the meat to make it an even thickness.
  • Season the olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper then brush over each flattened breast.
  • Heat a griddle pan to hot, but not smoking, and cook the chicken for 6 minutes on each side pressing slightly with the back of a spatula to creating charred grill lines on the meat.
  • Once cooked, take from the pan and place on a plate, cover with a tea cloth and leave the meat to rest.
  • Unless using store-bought dressing, make the dressing by blending the garlic and anchovies using a hand blender, or food processor , until combined.
  • Tip the mixture into a small bowl, add the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice and using a hand whisk add a few drops of olive oil and whisk until combined. Continue this way, adding a few drops and whisking, until all the oil is used up and the dressing is thick and creamy. Taste and add seasoning.
  • Rip the chicken into shreds and add the shredded Romaine and Parmesan and enough sauce to combine. Mix lightly, but be gentle here as you do not want to make the salad mushy. Divide into eight portions.
  • Place a pile of chicken salad in the middle of a wrap. Fold over the bottom and roll up tightly. Continue with the remaining wraps and serve immediately.
  • The wraps can be served either warm or cold, which makes them super for a lunch box or as part of a party buffet. Any leftover salad can be served on the side. In a hurry? Swap out the Caesar dressing ingredients for 4 tablespoons of your favorite store-bought Caesar dressing and follow the remainder of the instructions!
