Everything I adore about a chicken caesar salad—but you can eat it with your hands. Instead of chopping up the romaine, you pull apart its leaves into cups. Use these to scoop up caesar-dressed grilled chicken and crusty croutons.
Grilled Chicken Caesar Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients
- For the Caesar dressing:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (2-ounce) can anchovy fillets, drained, and minced
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed, peeled, and minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch kosher salt, plus more to taste
- For the chicken lettuce wraps:
- 4 chicken breasts, halved horizontally
- 6 slices bread, ideally crusty and rustic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1 small head radicchio, halved, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons drained capers
- 3 hearts of romaine, broken into leafs for lettuce cups
Directions
- For the Caesar dressing:
- Make the Caesar dressing. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust accordingly.
- For the chicken lettuce wraps:
- Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken breasts to a big plastic bag and add 1/2 cup Caesar dressing. Mush around to completely coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge or up to 1 day.
- Get your grill going. For charcoal: Set up for one-zone, high-temperature cooking. For gas: Heat to high until the temperature reaches about 600° F. Make sure the grill grates are clean, then lightly oil them.
- Grill the chicken over direct heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until charred on the outside and cooked (about 165° F) on the inside. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- Now grill the bread. First drizzle with olive oil, then grill over direct heat until charred, a couple minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool and crisp.
- Chop the chicken into chicken chunks. Add to a bowl along with the radicchio, parmesan, and capers. Dress with the remaining Caesar dressing—use however much feels right to you. Taste and adjust salt accordingly.
- Tear the grilled bread slices into crumbs.
- Serve as such: lettuce cups on one plate, chicken salad in a bowl, crumbs on another plate. To assemble: Fill a lettuce cup with chicken salad and top with breadcrumbs.
