I first had a version of a chicken Caesar pita wrap when I was trying different meal home delivery services (you can see my comparison different meal delivery services here) and I loved the idea – it was like a chicken Caesar salad in a pita. The one thing I didn’t like, however, was that there was way too much prep involved for something so simple.
So of course I had to simplify the recipe to make it work in my everyday life. I have to tell you, I’m so in love with this quick 5 ingredient wrap recipe (see other 5 ingredient recipes as part of my Five Ingredient Fridaysseries).
What ingredients do I need to make a chicken caesar wrap?
- Pitas
- Hearts of romaine
- Caesar salad dressing
- Rotisserie chicken
- Parmesan cheese
That’s it – five simple ingredients!
I am always short on time, so I love to use rotisserie chicken; it’s already cooked and all you have to do is shred/pull/cut it. Of course, if you have a little more time on your hands, you could simply bake chicken breasts and put about 1 tablespoon of Caesar dressing on them – the dressing acts like a marinade/sauce and really gives it great flavor.
If you’re looking for another super quick and easy recipe these 5 ingredient Greek chicken bowls are another favorite!
How do I make easy chicken Caesar pita wraps?
- Shred a rotisserie chicken.
- Toast pitas.
- Assemble Pita: pile pita with lettuce, add dressing (like this one), add chicken and sprinkle cheese.
- Enjoy!
If you’re looking for a little sweet snack or sides to have with your chicken pita, here are a few great options:
- Peanut butter balls (these are so good and only 5 ingredients)
- Almond butter pepita granola bars– love making a batch to have throughout the week with lunch
- White chocolate grape bites – love having these on hand in the fridge
Next time you’re in need of a super easy 5 ingredient dinner or lunch recipe, these chicken Caesar pita wraps are sure to satisfy!

This is definitely super easy, I think you’d love it! I use Marzetti brand of Caesar dressing (it’s usually in the refrigerated section by the salads at the grocery store)
Best,
