Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts gently with a meat mallet to ensure even thickness, about ½ inch.
  2. Season Chicken: Mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Rub this on the chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Cook Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Grill or pan-fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  4. Rest Chicken: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board.
  5. Slice Chicken: Slice the chicken into thin strips, about ½ inch wide.
  6. Make Dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper until smooth.
  7. Thin Dressing: Gradually add milk, whisking until desired consistency is achieved.
  8. Chill Dressing: Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Warm Tortillas (optional): Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  10. Assemble Wraps: Layer chopped romaine, sliced chicken, creamy dressing, Parmesan cheese, and croutons on a tortilla.
  11. Wrap: Fold in the sides and roll from the bottom up to secure fillings.
  12. Serve: Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
