This recipe for Caesar Chicken Wraps is the third in my series of easy 15 minute meals. Previous recipes include: French Dip Sandwiches and Chipotle Shrimp Tacos. Chicken dinners are always a hit at my house, this Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs, is one of our favorites.

How Do I Cook Chicken In The Instant Pot?

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Instant Pot’s bowl. Then pour a cup of chicken broth or stock over the top. Place the lid on and lock it in place. Seal the release valve and then set the pot on high pressure for 10 minutes. At the end of the cooking time release the steam then using pot holder remove the bowl. Drain and discard the liquid from the bowl. This is a great way to prepare chicken for wraps like this one, soups, salads and tacos.

Can I Cook Frozen Chicken Breasts In The Instant Pot?

Yes! This is probably one of my favorite things about pressure cooking you can cook chicken without thawing it first.  Zoo do this simply follow the same steps as cooking thawed chicken breasts with the exception of increasing the cooking time from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. Easy peasy! Plus, it’s a great time saver!!

Do I Have To Use Liquid When Cooking In the Instant Pot?

It is important to use liquid such as broth, stock or water when cooking in the Instant Pot or any pressure cooker. Pressure cookers cook quickly since they use pressure created from the hot, built-up steam trapped in inside the pot. Never use less than two cups of liquid when cooking in your pressure cooker.

How to make Chicken Caesar Wraps in the Instant Pot: 

  1. Begin by placing chicken in the bowl of the pressure cooker. Next, pour two cups of chicken broth over the top of the chicken. Put on the lid and lock into place. Check to make sure the vent is sealed and then set the pot on high pressure for ten minutes. 
  2. At the end of the cooking time, release the steam then using pot holders remove the bowl from the cooker. Pour off any remaining liquid and discard. 
  3. Remove the chicken to a cutting board or plate and shred using two forks. 
  4. Return the chicken to the bowl and place back into the pressure cooker. Turn on the sauté function and then add Caesar dressing chopped parsley, salt and pepper to chicken. Stir it together and then warm through.
  5. Turn off pot and allow the mixture to cool.

Variations: 

  • Swap out the tortillas: I used whole wheat tortillas but you could use flour, spinach, and even low carb tortillas for these wraps. 
  • Add tomato: Technically, tomatoes are part of a Caesar salad but they are delicious when included in this wrap. 
  • Add cheese: Cheese is great addition to this wrap. Parmesan is the traditional cheese for a Caesar salad. Asiago, Romano, or even Soy Parmesan would also be great choices.  
  • Swap the chicken: These wraps are a great way to use leftover turkey. Just shred a couple pounds turkey from the prepared. Skip to step four adding a half teaspoon of garlic powder and half teaspoon onion powder, salad dressing  toss and heat through.

How to store:

 This chicken salad can be kept for up to five days in a tightly sealed container in the fridge. 

I made this salad on a Sunday and enjoyed it at lunch during the week. To change things up one day I made a sandwich instead of a wrap. It was just at good on bread! I hope you love this recipe too!

Happy Cooking Y’all!

    This is one seriously yummy chicken wraps recipe! That it was made in the Instant Pot increased my love for it even more. I’m planning on making this delicious recipe again in a few weeks to serve at my friend’s baby shower.
