- Add a handful of romaine, sliced chicken, grated Parmesan, and crushed croutons. Squeeze lemon if desired.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly, tucking the bottom under as you go. Toast seam-side down in the skillet for a minute.
- Slice in half on a diagonal and serve immediately.
Notes
For smoky depth, grill the chicken and brush with smoked paprika. For a lighter option, swap chicken for sliced turkey or extra-roasted vegetables. Make it vegetarian by substituting with grilled portobello or tofu.
