ingredients

  • Grilled chicken breast
  • Caramelized onions
  • Roasted red peppers
  • Arugula
  • Lemony Caesar dressing
  • Sesame seed herb croutons
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Iceberg lettuce

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  • Step 2

    Cut the leftover hard bread into bite-sized pieces and toss them with olive oil, sesame seeds, and your favorite herbs.

  • Step 3

    Spread the bread pieces on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

  • Step 4

    Place the chicken in a bowl and add your preferred marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  • Step 5

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  • Step 6

    Grill the marinated chicken until it is fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Once done, let it rest before slicing it into thin strips.

  • Step 7

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the sliced onions.

  • Step 8

    Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown. This should take about 15-20 minutes.

  • Step 9

    While the onions are cooking, roast the red peppers in the oven or over an open flame until the skin is charred.

  • Step 10

    Peel off the charred skin and slice the peppers into thin strips.

  • Step 11

    Carefully remove whole leaves from the iceberg lettuce head, ensuring they remain intact.

  • Step 12

    Place a leaf on a plate and layer it with arugula, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, grilled chicken slices, and Parmesan cheese.

  • Step 13

    Drizzle the lemony Caesar dressing over the top and sprinkle with the sesame seed herb croutons.

  • Step 14

    Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling to create a wrap.

  • Step 15

    Secure with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately.
