Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · stirring spoon
Directions
- Whisk together mayonnaise, Caesar dressing, and spices in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Wash and dry the celery and bell pepper before prepping the vegetables.
- Dice the celery and add it to the dressing mixture.
- Peel, seed, and dice the bell pepper, then fold it into the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Remove meat from the rotisserie chicken and chop into small pieces, adding them to the bowl.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the chicken is well coated and the salad is evenly mixed; set aside.
- Warm a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread crumbs and toast, stirring often, until they’re golden brown, about 3–4 minutes, then transfer to a small bowl and season with garlic powder and salt to taste.
- Separate the lettuce leaves, creating stacks of two leaves per wrap. Fill each stack with the chicken salad, then top with toasted crumbs and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan before serving.
Two tips
- Prep ahead by chopping celery and peppers; store covered in the fridge to speed assembly.
- For serving, keep extra Parmesan on the side and optionally add more crumbs for extra crunch at the table.
