Ingredients
- 3tablespoons lemon juice
- 2tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1clove garlic, minced
- 1/2teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total), trimmed
- 1/8teaspoon salt
- 2small romaine hearts
- 1/3cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- 48- to 9-inch spinach wraps, warmed
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Combine lemon juice, oil, mayonnaise, garlic and pepper in a large bowl.
- Oil the grill rack. Sprinkle chicken with salt. Cut romaine in half lengthwise, leaving root ends intact. Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Two minutes before the chicken is done, place the romaine on the rack and grill, turning once or twice, until lightly charred and beginning to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes total.
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Cut the root ends off the romaine, then chop the leaves. Add the chicken, lettuce and Parmesan to the bowl with the dressing; toss until well combined. Fill each wrap with about 1 1/2 cups of the salad and roll closed.
Tips
Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won’t stick. Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to coat the food with cooking spray.
