About this Recipe

This wrap starts with a base of chicken being cooked in the slow cooker using my Crisp and Juicy Slow Cooker Chicken method. This method has no liquids, just a seasoning of salt and pepper. It’s also totally hands off and results in a perfectly tender, juicy chicken that can be pulled apart. 

Chef’s Note: Replacing Anchovy Paste

The Caesar salad dressing I use for this wraps recipe is easy to make without anchovy paste and a quick swap of mayonnaise for Greek yogurt. If you’re in a rush or don’t want to make the salad dressing, there are great light options and even some made with Greek yogurt that you can use too.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

If you’re looking for a way to keep the moisture down in wrap note the following:

  • The large lettuce leaf we lay down first provides a barrier
  • You can also add grape tomatoes in place of the halved cherry tomatoes
  • If you would like to keep the croutons crunchy you can add them just before eating
  • You can even pack your wrap bento box style and just assemble right before eating.

What to Pair With

This tasty wrap is perfect for a weekday lunch in the office or serve it to your family on a summer weekend. Crispy Sweet Potato Fries make for the perfect side to serve for lunch. You can also make Homemade Potato Chips or Beer Battered Onion Rings.

  1. Can regular yogurt be used instead of green yogurt? Or just not use yogurt at all and use the mayo. Like that there’s no anchovy paste in it.

    1. I think sour cream might be a better substitute. If you decide to try it with the others, I’d love to know how it turned out. Good luck!
