    Ingredients, Swaps, & Time Saving Tips! 

    ingredients for instant pot chicken caesar salad wraps 

    • To make this ultra easy - skip making the caesar salad from scratch like I did, and simply grab a caesar salad kit from your grocery store. 

    You must use a vinaigrette dressing for this.

    • The creamier salad dressings won't work for this. If you don't have or can't find caesar vinaigrette you can use zesty Italian for this recipe.

    Then, use the creamier dressing when you make the salad.

    Let's make these wraps!

    The beauty of this is that it really is as simple as placing the chicken and the dressing into the Instant Pot. Then, do a quick release. 

    Mix up your salad, and make your wrap. 

    That is all you do. seriously.

    How to make this with frozen chicken

    Yes, you can use frozen chicken breasts for this. 

    • Don't pile the frozen breasts ontop of eachother. They will not cook evenly. You want to place individual chicken breasts to the pot. 
    • You will increase the pressure time to 10 minutes, from 8 minutes. 

    How to make this meal prep style

    Chicken caesar wrap meal prep

    • Pre mixed caesar salad will get soggy. You want to leave the dressing off until right when you make your wrap.
    • Load up your meal prep container with raw veggies - or even some seasonal fruit.
    • You can pre make the wraps in the morning and take to work, but even then, I find the tortilla can get soggy - mix up your chicken and salad, keep the dressing separate, and then build you wrap at lunch - for best results!

    If you are looking for more Meal Prep Lunch inspo, I have you covered here on the blog! 

    If I add more chicken do I change the cook time?

    No! You can add more chicken and you don't need to adjust time. The only exception is if you stack frozen chicken, you will have to add a few more minutes. 

    Tips for folding wraps

    • You want room temperature or warmed tortillas or they will rip. 
    • Buy wraps that are at least 8 inches or creating a filling wrap will be a challenge.
