Easy Chicken Caesar Wraps

This 3-ingredient Costco chicken Caesar salad wrap recipe has become my go-to solution for quick weeknight dinners when time is short but I still want something satisfying and fresh. The combination of warm naan bread, savory rotisserie chicken, and classic Caesar salad creates a perfect handheld meal that feels much fancier than the effort required.

I first discovered this recipe when hosting an impromptu movie night with friends. With just a few Costco staples in my refrigerator, I was able to whip up these wraps in minutes, and they've been requested at every gathering since.

Ingredients

• Stonefire Mini Naan: Provides the perfect soft yet sturdy base for these wraps. The slightly charred flavor adds complexity without competing with the Caesar dressing.
• Costco rotisserie chicken breast: Offers tender, juicy protein that's already perfectly seasoned and ready to use. One breast yields enough meat for the entire recipe.
• Kirkland Signature Caesar Salad Kit: Delivers the classic combination of crisp romaine, creamy dressing, sharp cheese and crunchy croutons all in one convenient package.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Warm the Naan:

Heat the mini naan breads according to package directions until they're soft and pliable. Stack them together and wrap in a kitchen towel or aluminum foil to keep them warm and prevent them from drying out while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the Filling:

Shred the meat from one Costco rotisserie chicken breast into bite sized pieces until you have approximately 1½ cups of chicken. Place this in a large mixing bowl. Add half of the lettuce and cheese from the Caesar salad kit along with one package of croutons. The combination of tender chicken with crisp romaine creates a perfect texture contrast.

Add Dressing:

Drizzle one pouch of the Caesar dressing over the salad ingredients. Squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge from the kit over everything to brighten the flavors. Toss all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with dressing. The lemon adds a fresh, acidic note that balances the richness of the dressing.

Assemble the Wraps:

For each wrap, place a heaping half cup of the chicken Caesar mixture onto a warm mini naan bread. Fold the naan in half like a taco and enjoy immediately. The warm bread against the cool, crisp salad creates a delightful temperature contrast.

My favorite part of this recipe is how the warm naan softens slightly around the cool, crunchy salad creating the perfect bite. My husband initially doubted such a simple combination could be satisfying, but now he requests these wraps at least once a week for a quick dinner.

Make Ahead Tips

While these wraps are best assembled right before eating, you can prepare components in advance. Shred the chicken and store it separately from the salad mixture, then combine everything just before serving. This prevents the lettuce from becoming soggy and maintains the crunchiness of the croutons.

Variation Ideas

Turn these wraps into a heartier meal by adding diced avocado for creaminess and healthy fat. Crispy bacon bits provide extra crunch and savory flavor. For heat lovers, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce transforms these into spicy Caesar wraps that wake up your taste buds.

Serving Suggestions

These wraps pair beautifully with a simple side of fresh fruit for a complete meal. For entertaining, cut them into smaller portions and serve as appetizers alongside a vegetable crudité platter. They're substantial enough to stand alone but light enough to serve with a cup of tomato soup for a fulfilling lunch.

Commonly Asked Questions

→ Can I use other types of flatbread instead of mini naan?

Yes, you can substitute the mini naan with other flatbreads like pita pockets, tortillas, or lavash. Just adjust the amount of filling based on the size of your bread alternative. Flour tortillas make excellent wraps that can be rolled completely closed for less mess.

→ How long do these wraps stay fresh?

These wraps are best assembled just before eating to maintain the bread's texture and prevent sogginess. However, you can prepare the chicken-Caesar mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it refrigerated in an airtight container. When ready to eat, simply warm the naan and assemble.

→ Can I add other ingredients to these wraps?

Absolutely! Consider adding diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bacon bits, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. For extra flavor, try mixing in pesto with the Caesar dressing or adding a dash of hot sauce for heat.

→ What's the best way to warm the mini naan?

For best results, warm mini naan in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30-60 seconds per side until soft and slightly toasted. You can also microwave them for 15-20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel, or toast them lightly in a toaster oven. The key is to make them pliable enough to fold without breaking.

→ How can I make these wraps healthier?

To boost the nutritional value, use whole grain naan if available, opt for a light Caesar dressing, add extra vegetables like spinach or arugula to the mix, and incorporate more lean protein. You could also make your own Caesar dressing with Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative.

→ Can I use the dark meat from the rotisserie chicken instead?

Yes, dark meat from rotisserie chicken works perfectly in these wraps. It tends to be juicier and more flavorful than breast meat. You can use thigh and leg meat, or a combination of light and dark meat based on your preference.
