CHICKEN CAESAR WRAPS WITH CRISPY CHEESE
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.

Steps:
- Place bacon slice in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slice on paper towels, cool slightly, and crumble.
- Combine bacon, lettuce, shredded chicken, croutons, dressing, and Parmesan cheese for the filling a a bowl. Toss gently to combine and everything is evenly coated with dressing. Adjust dressing amount to your personal preference - for me 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons is about right.

- Lay filling ingredients down the center, and roll your wrap up! Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for fresh, crisp romaine lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
- Make your own dressing: It's easy to make Caesar dressing at home, and it tastes so much better than store-bought. Simply whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, anchovies, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Don't overcrowd the salad: When you're assembling the salad, don't overcrowd the bowl. This will make it difficult to toss the salad and evenly distribute the dressing.
- Toss the salad gently: When you're tossing the salad, be gentle. This will help prevent the lettuce from wilting.
- Serve immediately: Caesar salad is best served immediately after it's made. This will help prevent the lettuce from wilting and the dressing from becoming watery.

With its creamy, flavorful dressing and crisp, fresh ingredients, Caesar salad is a classic for a reason. Whether you're serving it for a party or a casual weeknight meal, this salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy salad recipe, give Caesar salad a try.
