Perfecting the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap

  • When I asked y’all your opinions about what belongs in a chicken Caesar wrap, the responses were truly wild. Intentionally soggy lettuce? Grape halves? French fries inside? Chickpeas??? The passion was irrefutable. Whether I agreed or not-well, that’s another story. After many tests and a few tribulations, I landed on Chicken Caesar Wrap My Way™: Crunchy-gone- soggy-gone crunchy croutons, juicy diced dark meat chicken, something called a “lettuce hug,” blender Parm, a quality wrap, and, of course, the world’s greatest Caesar dressing. Let’s jump in, shall we?

    As much as I like to think of a wrap as a "walking around" food, it is a "make at home" recipe. I've never had one as good as this one, ever, in the world. Feel free to disagree, but you have to try it first.

    Putting anchovies in the wrap? I am good cook and after around a decade of more serious home cooking, I realized, that I had to trust other chefs and try their tastes out without changing anything. I kid you not, my taste and cooking have improved A LOT since doing that. Definitely putting radicchio and anchovies in my next wrap!

    @galaxy_mosaic3587 4 місяці тому +7

    yay for chicken thighs. actually love the whole anchovy addition. would have never come up with that. in my mind, feel like maybe the first method (lettuce kept whole with the wrapping) maybe would keep the lettuce more intact and retain its texture? but either way it seems like the wrap should be assembled and eaten quickly so the lettuce does not get too soggy with time. my main concern is just keeping the lettuce part as crispy as possible. in terms of aesthetics I can see that the whole lettuce method would result in a prettier view when you cut down the middle of the wrap...

But also because of it provides a great look into developing better cooking skills by showing her own approach to recipe development and the thought process behind the choices she makes as she is making them.
