Ingredients:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (butterflied and pounded thin)

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Prepare the Chicken
Butterfly and pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
Season with garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and dried oregano.
Marinate
Coat the chicken in Caesar dressing and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Brush with olive oil and grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked with nice grill marks.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and crouton crumbs.
Roll up the chicken tightly and serve warm.
Tips for Perfect Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Roll-Ups
✅ Pound the Chicken Evenly – This ensures even cooking and makes rolling easier. Aim for about ¼-inch thickness.
✅ Marinate for Maximum Flavor – Let the chicken soak in Caesar dressing for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) for juicy, flavorful bites.
✅ Use Fresh Romaine – Crisp lettuce adds a refreshing crunch. For extra texture, add crouton crumbs inside the roll-ups.
✅ Grill at Medium Heat – High heat can dry out the chicken. Aim for medium heat (350-400°F) and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked.
✅ Secure with Toothpicks (if needed) – If the roll-ups don’t hold well, secure them with toothpicks while grilling and remove before serving.
✅ Serve with Extra Dressing – A drizzle of Caesar dressing or a side of garlic aioli takes these roll-ups to the next level.
