Ingredients

For the grilled chicken

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness or sliced into cutlets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika smoked or sweet
1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

For the keto Caesar dressing

1/2 cup mayonnaise preferably avocado oil based
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water to thin, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard sugar free
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste optional but authentic
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For assembling the wraps

4 large low carb tortillas or large romaine lettuce leaves about 8 inches each if using tortillas
3 cups chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce patted very dry
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese for topping
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber or bell pepper for crunch, optional
4 slices cooked bacon crumbled, optional

Instructions

Add the chicken breasts to a shallow dish and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, turning to coat evenly on all sides.
Let the seasoned chicken rest while you prepare the dressing so the flavors can absorb slightly.
In a mixing bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, water, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, anchovy paste if using, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy, adding a splash more water if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the salt, pepper, and lemon juice to your preference, then set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium to medium high heat until hot, then add the chicken in a single layer without crowding the pan.
Cook the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the outside is nicely browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5 minutes so the juices redistribute, then slice it into thin strips or bite size pieces.
Add the warm sliced chicken to a large bowl and spoon several tablespoons of the Caesar dressing over the top, tossing until the chicken is generously coated but not soupy.
Stir the chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce and any sliced cucumber or bell pepper into the dressed chicken, adding more dressing if desired to lightly coat the greens while keeping them crisp.
If using low carb tortillas, warm them briefly in a dry skillet over low heat until pliable, and if using lettuce leaves, lay them out and gently pat dry again to remove any excess moisture.
Place a tortilla or lettuce leaf flat on a work surface and spoon a quarter of the chicken Caesar mixture along the center, then top with shredded Parmesan and crumbled bacon if using.
Fold the sides of the tortilla or lettuce over the filling and roll tightly into a wrap, repeating with the remaining portions to make all of the wraps.
Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days, keeping any extra dressing separate for drizzling just before eating.

Notes

To keep the wraps from getting soggy during meal prep, store the dressed chicken separately from the lettuce or tortillas and assemble just before serving. For an even lower carb option, choose sturdy romaine leaves instead of tortillas and skip the optional vegetables if strict keto macros are needed. Rotisserie chicken can be used in place of grilled chicken for a faster shortcut, but reduce the added salt and skip any sugary seasonings from the skin. Each wrap is calculated using a standard low carb tortilla with about 4 grams net carbs; actual macros will vary based on the brand of tortilla, mayonnaise, and Parmesan you use.
