Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup romaine lettuce leaves, washed and separated

1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup croutons (optional, for added crunch)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

      - Add chicken breasts to the bowl, coating them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor).

        Grill the Chicken:

          - Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

            - Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

              - Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

                Prepare the Lettuce Wraps:

                  - While the chicken is resting, prepare the romaine lettuce leaves. Choose the larger, sturdier leaves to hold the filling.

                    - In a large bowl, combine the grilled chicken pieces with Caesar dressing, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.

                      Assemble the Wraps:

                        - Take a lettuce leaf and spoon the grilled chicken and Caesar dressing mixture into the center.

                          - Sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese on top.

                            - If desired, add a few croutons for extra crunch.

                              Garnish and Serve:

                                - Garnish with chopped parsley, if using.

                                  - Enjoy your Grilled Chicken Caesar Lettuce Wraps fresh, as a healthy and delicious meal option!
