Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 bundle romaine lettuce (about 4 to 5 cups)
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 6 spinach herb wraps
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing; more if needed

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot. Pour lemon juice over the chicken and spread the garlic evenly on top. Add water or chicken broth to the pot.
  2. Step 2: Seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to high pressure for 25 minutes. When cooking is complete, perform a quick pressure release.
  3. Step 3: Chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and parmesan cheese. Add the chicken and Caesar dressing, then toss everything together thoroughly.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the mixture onto each spinach herb wrap. Roll up the wraps tightly, then cut them in half and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken briefly in lemon juice and garlic before cooking.
  • Swap spinach herb wraps with whole wheat or flour tortillas if preferred.
  • Add sliced avocado or crispy bacon to boost richness and texture.
  • Use homemade Caesar dressing or a low-fat version to control the ingredients.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken mixture and wraps separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the chicken mixture slightly before assembling fresh wraps to maintain crispness. Avoid reheating fully assembled wraps to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken breasts for this recipe?

Yes, you can cook chicken breasts from frozen in the Instant Pot. Increase the cooking time to about 30 minutes on high pressure and allow for natural pressure release to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.

What can I substitute for croutons if I don’t have any?

If you don’t have croutons, try toasted nuts, crunchy seeds, or even crisp baked tortilla strips for added texture in the wraps.

Description

These Instant Pot Caesar Chicken Wraps combine tender, juicy chicken cooked effortlessly in an instant pot with a classic Caesar salad blend, all wrapped in flavorful spinach herb wraps for a quick, delicious, and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken & Marinade

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water or chicken broth

Salad & Wrap

  • 1 bundle romaine lettuce (about 4 to 5 cups), chopped
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 6 spinach herb wraps
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing; more if needed

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken. Add 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth to the pot to create steam and keep the chicken moist. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to high pressure for 25 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, perform a quick pressure release to safely remove the steam.
  2. Prepare the Caesar Salad Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Add the cooked chicken, chopped into bite-sized pieces. Pour in the Caesar dressing and toss everything together until well coated, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the spinach herb wraps and spoon generous amounts of the chicken Caesar salad mixture onto each wrap. Roll the wraps tightly to enclose the filling. For ease of serving and eating, cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using chicken broth instead of water enhances the flavor of the chicken.
  • For a spicier kick, add some cracked black pepper or red pepper flakes to the chicken before cooking.
  • Spinach herb wraps can be substituted with whole wheat or gluten-free wraps to suit dietary needs.
  • If you prefer, use store-bought rotisserie chicken to skip the Instant Pot step for a quicker version.
  • Make sure to not overfill the wraps to prevent tearing during rolling.
