Perfecting the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap

Рет қаралды 156,724

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.

NOOOOO! Add some sardine oil to the pan for the croutons. Also, lemon zest on the damm croutons! You already have the fucking ingredients there!

I JUST watched your video this morning…..then rushed to the grocery for all the ingredients needed. And I made them. My husband, always orders these when we are at a restaurant. I made a disclaimer “these might not be the same, but try them”……and he LOVED them. So, not only is this recipe a keeper, I totally enjoyed your video. WHAT a fun watch!!!! Thank you

Your way is better texturally and aesthetically, but I sometimes have trouble biting through whole lettuce due to having blunt teeth - so I understand “chop it all up; chop it all in.”

@anikoborsi8670 4 ай бұрын

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!

This is a great video not only in terms of making what’s looking to be an absolute delicious wrap that I can’t wait to try over the weekend and prep in advance for the next couple of days. 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. Thank you for sharing this. This is a genuinely useful video that was also fun to watch Also a huge huge huge thank you for providing the link to the wrap.

I also added fresh grated parm to the croutons when they came out of the oven for more umami. Amazing dish, thank you!

@galaxy_mosaic3587 4 ай бұрын

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...
