We love a good Caesar Salad – with or without chicken. We also love wraps of all kinds here. So why not combining both and make a few Caesar Chicken BLT Wraps? These delicious wraps are perfect for lunch at the office or a picnic in the park. Preparing them is quite simple and straightforward – which is something we like a lot around here. ;P
Here in Germany, most people know what a Caesar Salad is – not so sure about the term »BLT«. The abbreviation stands for Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato, of course. A popular combination for sandwiches. Though you can add »BLT« to anything – burgers, salads, wraps… Just don’t use banana, lemon, and tuna and call it »BLT«. People would be very surprised.
If you’ve been here on the blog before, you might have already seen several recipes where bacon is the star of the day – we got burgers, cookies, cupcakes, and even jam, that’s made with bacon. We just love to use bacon. Who doesn’t?! Vegetarians and vegans probably, but a lot of other people love bacon for sure. You might want to check your cholesterol numbers after eating a lot of bacon, but if you don’t overdo it… all should be fine. ;P
Even though the bacon doesn’t play the main role in these wraps, it works really well with the chicken, the salad, and the homemade Caesar dressing, of course. Without that, the wraps would be only half as good. In case you are not a fan of anchovies (or fish in general), you can prepare the dressing without the oily fish, of course. Season the dressing with a bit more salt and pepper, or even better, crush a few capers and add them to the dressing. Although, once again, they are also not everyone’s cup of tea, I heard. ;P
Well. No matter how you prepare the dressing – the wraps are great as a meal on the go. It doesn’t matter if you take them to the office for lunch or to the park along with a few drinks after work. The wraps can be wrapped in plain old sandwich paper or (more environmentally friendly) in reusable beeswax paper*. If you got more space in your bag, use a lunch or bento box – that’s actually the best way to get the wraps from A to B.
We got plenty more recipes for burgers, sandwiches, and wraps here on the blog. Our delicious Guacamole Chicken Wraps are definitely worth checking out. They are as delicious as these Caesar Chicken BLT Wraps here. Both are a great option for lunch. We just love wraps. ;)
If you want something a little more special, you should try our (Copycat) Crunchwraps Supreme with Refried Beans. Some of you might be familiar with these wraps – a popular restaurant chain from the US offers them along with tacos, burritos, and other delicious items. Extremely tasty but also quite hefty! ;P
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(4 wraps)
For the dressing:
1/2 cup (120g) plain yogurt
3 anchovy fillets*, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3-4 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 organic lemon, zest & juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce*
salt, pepper
For the chicken:
some oil for frying
2 boneless chicken breasts (alternatively use breaded chicken breast)
some lemon juice
salt, pepper
For the wraps:
6-8 slices of bacon
4 large tortillas* (e.g. wholemeal)
1 lettuce heart (2-3 lettuce leaves per wrap)
2 large tomatoes, sliced
some Parmesan cheese, sliced (optional)
(4 Wraps)
Für das Dressing:
120g Joghurt (natur)
3 Sardellenfilets*, fein gehackt
1 Knoblauchzehe, fein gehackt
3-4 EL Parmesan, fein gerieben
1/2 Bio-Zitrone, Abrieb & Saft
1 EL Olivenöl
1 TL Worcestershire Soße*
Salz, Pfeffer
Für das Hähnchen:
etwas Öl zum Anbraten
2 Hähnchenbrüste (alternativ panierte Hähnchenteile verwenden)
etwas Zitronensaft
Salz, Pfeffer
Für die Wraps:
6-8 Scheiben Bacon
4 große Tortillas* (z.B. Vollkorn)
1 Salatherz (etwa 2-3 Blätter pro Wrap)
2 große Tomaten, in Scheiben
etwas Parmesan, gehobelt (optional)
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. For the dressing, mix the yogurt with finely chopped anchovies, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, oil, and Worcestershire Sauce. Season with salt and pepper and set aside (e.g. in the fridge) until needed.
2. Wash and dry the chicken breast and remove any unwanted parts. Rub the chicken with a little lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Heat up a frying pan with some oil and fry the chicken breast until nicely browned all over. The chicken should be completely cooked, but not dry. Remove from the frying pan, cut into slices and set aside. If you want to use breaded chicken pieces, cut them into slices as well and reheat briefly before using.
3. Fry the bacon until crispy, drain on some kitchen paper and cut into pieces. Wash and dry the lettuce and cut it into strips. Wash and dry the tomatoes as well and cut into slices.
4. To assemble the wraps, have all ingredients ready. If necessary, briefly warm the tortillas in the microwave or in a dry frying pan (without oil). Add lettuce and tomato slices on a tortilla, add chicken pieces and a few pieces of fried bacon on top as well. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese to your liking (optional). Roll up the wraps tightly and serve with plain (tortilla) chips, french fries or potato wedges. If you want to take the wraps with you somewhere, wrap them in paper or store them in a lunch box and enjoy them in the park or anywhere else.
Notes:
The dressing can be prepared up to two days in advance and stored in the fridge. It’s also great for a Caesar salad, of course!
We like to prepare the wraps with breaded chicken – for example, made with this Buttermilk Chicken Sandwiches recipe. These chicken pieces can also be prepared in advance and then briefly reheated for the wraps. Leftover chicken fingers from the delivery service work just as well, of course. ;)
1. Den Joghurt für das Dressing mit den fein gehackten Sardellen, gehacktem Knoblauch, geriebenem Parmesan, Zitronensaft, Öl und Worcestershire Soße verrühren. Mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen und dann bis zur weiteren Verwendung zur Seite (bzw. in den Kühlschrank) stellen.
2. Die Hähnchenbrust waschen, trocknen und unerwünschte Teile entfernen. Mit etwas Zitronensaft einreiben und dann mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen. Etwas Öl in einer Pfanne erhitzen und die Hähnchenbrust rundum kräftig anbraten. Das Fleisch sollte durchgebraten sein, aber nicht austrocknen. Aus der Pfanne nehmen, in Scheiben schneiden und zur Seite stellen. Wer panierte Hühnchenteile verwenden möchte, schneidet die ebenfalls in Scheiben und wärmt sie ggf. vor der Verwendung noch einmal kurz auf.
3. Den Bacon kross anbraten, auf einem Küchenpapier abtropfen lassen und dann in Stücke schneiden. Den Salat waschen, trocknen und in Streifen schneiden. Die Tomaten ebenfalls waschen, trocknen und dann in Scheiben schneiden.
4. Wenn es an den Zusammenbau der Wraps geht, alle Zutaten bereithalten. Die Tortillas ggf. in der Mikrowelle oder in einer trockenen Pfanne (ohne Öl) kurz erwärmen. Als erstes Salat und Tomatenscheiben auflegen, dann die Hähnchenstücke, sowie einige Stücke vom angebratenen Bacon. Etwas Dressing darüber träufeln und nach Belieben noch gehobelten Parmesan bestreuen (optional). Die Wraps schön kompakt zusammenrollen und dann nach Belieben mit (Tortilla) Chips oder Pommes bzw. Potato Wedges servieren. Wer die Wraps irgendwohin mitnehmen möchte, kann sie einfach in Papier einrollen oder in einer Brotbox verstauen und dann z.B. im Park genießen.
Hinweise:
Das Dressing kann man bis zu zwei Tage vorab zubereiten und im Kühlschrank lagern – eignet sich natürlich auch prima für einen Caesar Salad!
Wir bereiten die Wraps gerne mit panierten Hähnchenteilen zu – wie z.B. von diesen Buttermilk Chicken Sandwiches. Die kann man auch prima vorab zubereiten und dann für die Wraps kurz aufwärmen. Übrig gebliebene Chicken Fingers vom Lieferdienst gehen natürlich genauso gut. ;)
By the way, you can see how to fold a wrap properly in this little infographic. First fold the tortilla over the filling on one side, then fold in the other side and roll it up tightly. We recommend a good amount of filling. Not only because we love to eat a lot – also because the wrap is easier to fold and roll. But don’t overdo it! ;P Happy wrapping!

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
