If you are looking for a simple, portable lunch that supports muscle tone, steady energy and skin health, this low carb chicken caesar wrap is an ideal option. Designed to deliver 35 to 40 grams of complete, leucine-rich protein, it provides the amino acids needed to stimulate muscle protein synthesis while helping to regulate appetite and blood sugar throughout the afternoon.

This is a lighter, more metabolically intelligent take on a classic. The Greek yogurt dressing replaces traditional mayonnaise with a probiotic-rich alternative that supports the gut-skin axis, while olive oil provides monounsaturated fats that help maintain skin elasticity. Swapping a traditional wrap for collard greens or a low-carb option reduces refined carbohydrates, helping to minimise glycation and support a more stable metabolic environment.

Low Carb Chicken Caesar Wrap

Ingredients

• 5 ounces cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
• 2 pieces large collard green leaves, large butter lettuce leaves, stems trimmed flat, or egg white wrap or almond flour wrap
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
• 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 pieces anchovy fillets, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

(make it dairy-free: swap the Greek yogurt for an unsweetened coconut or cashew-based yogurt and omit the Parmesan)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pieces anchovy fillets until smooth and creamy. Stir in the Parmesan cheese then season with the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust as needed.
2. Prep the wraps: If using collard greens, lay each leaf flat and use a sharp knife to carefully shave down the thick center stem so the leaf lies flat and rolls easily without cracking. If using butter lettuce, simply select large, cup-shaped leaves and layer two together for extra support.
3. Assemble: Toss the romaine lettuce and chicken in the dressing, Lay your prepared wrap leaves or other wrap on a flat surface and spoon the dressed chicken and romaine mixture down the center. Drizzle any remaining dressing over the top and finish with an extra crack of black pepper and a light sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
