Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • 1/2 large lemon juiced
  • 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 5 ounces power greens blend baby spinach and baby kale
  • Caesar dressing homemade or store-bought
  • 6 large wraps

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).
  • Line a metal rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner.
  • Measure 8 one-tablespoon mounds of Parmesan onto the prepared pan. Use the back of your spoon to slightly spread out the cheese into a 1½ to 2-inch round circles.
  • Bake for 2½ minutes, rotate pan and bake for an additional 2 to 2½ minutes. Remove and let the Parmesan crisps cool completely.
  • Toss the chicken with 2 teaspoons olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and kosher salt. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet on medium-high heat. Let the chicken marinate on your counter while the pan preheats.
  • Once your pan is hot, place the chicken in the skillet (I do two at a time) and cook about 6 mintutes per side. Turn and continue to cook until no longer pink and the chicken is fully cooked. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Allow the chicken to cool for 4 to 5 minutes before dicing into bite-size pieces and returning to the skillet. Shake the pan so the chicken picks up the browned goodness on the bottom of the skillet and cook for 2 to 4 more minutes.
  • Divide the dressed greens among the wraps and top with chicken, more dressing if desired and parmesan crisps before wrapping tightly.
  • Alternatively store ingredients (do not toss the greens in the dressing) and build and eat throughout the week.
