Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap
Caesar Salad, an Italian salad of romaine lettuce dressed in an anchovy-olive oil dressing, is a hit on our family dinner table. Besides enjoying it as a salad, we also love to wrap it in tortilla for a more complete meal – we usually serve one bowl of Caesar salad with one chicken Caesar salad wrap. Since our dinner is usually rice or noodles based, having a salad wrap is a much welcome change of taste for us. To learn how to wrap a closed tortilla like shown in the photo, check out the step-by-step photos on page 2.

Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe
- Serves: makes 4 wraps
- Prep: 20 mins
- Cook: 20 mins
This is a healthy, deliciously wholesome and relatively low-carb chicken Caesar salad wrap.
Ingredients
- 200 grams chicken fillet boneless and skinless
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
- 20 grams anchovies fillets including olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (worchester sauce)
- 1/2 lemon juice and zest
- 2 garlic cloves peeled
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 150 grams romaine lettuce leaves torn to bite-sized pieces; washed and spinned dry
- 8 cherry tomatoes halved
- 4-6 hard boiled quail eggs halved; or use one hard-boiled egg, sliced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 4 tortilla wraps normal or wholemeal
Instructions
- Drizzle chicken with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and oregano. Arrange one layer (do not stack chicken) in the center of a piece of a piece of parchment paper measuring roughly 10” (25cm) by 14“ (35cm). Wrap to form a neat parcel.
- Place parcel on a baking tray and bake at preheated oven of 200°C for about 15 minutes. Carefully unwrap chicken parcel (beware of steam coming out of package). Discard liquid collected. Alternatively, you may pan-fry or grill the chicken on the stove top. Cut chicken to even slices and set aside.
- Blend ingredients for salad dressing (anchovies, Worcestershire sauce , lemon, garlic, mayonnaise, cheese and 50ml olive oil) to a fine consistency in a blender. If you don’t have a blender, you can use a fork to mash up the anchovies and then use a mortar and pestle to pound the dressing by hand.
- Warm tortilla wraps in an un-oiled, heated pan for about 1 minute on each side.
- To make the wrap, arrange sauce and fillings (chicken, lettuce, eggs and tomatoes) in center. Fold three sides toward the center and roll up the wrap. Cut into two. Click here for step-by-step wrapping photos.

Hi Wiffy
May I know where to get anchovies fillets including olive oil? What brand is it?
This is a good recipe to try indeed ;o). Thanks!
Felicia
Hi Felicia, check out page 2 of this post, it shows a photo of the anchovies in packaging… you can get from supermarkets such as NTUC or CS.
My favourite salad and it looks really yummy in the wrap!
So refreshing…
Hi Wiffy
Finally, I tried out this recipe yesterday evening for dinner and my family just love it! I should have done it much-much earlier. This will be a great recipe when there are many children/teenagers coming over for gatherings.
A quick question: I had made double portion of the dressing yesterday (yup, I was greedy). May I know how long can I keep it inside the fridge? Will it spoil fast?
Once again, thanks for your recipes, they are just simple wonderful for me ;o).
Felicia
Hi Felicia, thanks for trying out the recipe and glad to hear it’s well-received by your family! Since there are no raw ingredients in the dressing, I would say it should keep well for a few days, wrapped with cling, in the fridge.
Do you think we could do without the worchester sauce?
yes, definitely. Worchester sauce is sour and salty, feel free to adjust or omit to your preference.
Thanks Wiffy! This is a must make as I plan my Christmas menu:)
