These Crockpot Chicken Caesar Wraps are a family favorite in my house.
Not only are they super easy to prepare but since the chicken is cooked in a slow cooker, there is no heating up the house.
This is a great meal to prepare during the summer heat or when you need to have something tasty and ready to go!

I hate grilling in the heat. So as much as I like a grilled chicken caesar, it isn't happening in the summer. This is when I like to bust out the trusty old slow cooker for chicken caesar wraps.
While I am quite picky when it comes to slow cooker chicken recipes, here are a few recipes I can recommend. Quick Crockpot Chicken, Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings, Slow Cooker Chicken Stew and Slow Cooker Chicken Parm Pasta.
While I'm typically not a fan of hot and cold foods mixed together. There is just something magical about the cool lettuce paired with the warmed chicken and then the crunch of the croutons - oh my! Just try it and you'll see.
Another great chicken wrap to try is this Blue Cheese Chicken Wrap!
Ingredients
- BONELESS CHICKEN - I've used boneless breasts but you can also use boneless thighs.
- BROTH - Chicken broth is best but in a pinch you could use vegetable.
- CAESAR DRESSING - whatever brand you prefer is fine
- TORTILLAS - I use flour tortillas
- PARMESAN CHEESE
- PARSLEY - Freshly chopped
- LETTUCE - Romaine
- BLACK PEPPER
Instructions
See the recipe card for detailed instructions and steps.
- Slow cook the chicken with the broth for a few hours and shred it. Drain liquid.
- Add the shredded chicken back to slow cooker pot along with the Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, parsley and black pepper. Cover and allow that to slow cook for 30 minutes.
- Assemble the wraps by placing the chicken mixture and the lettuce in a wrap and rolling up.
Top Tip
All slow cookers / crock pots cook a little differently. Get to know your slow cooker and whether it runs extremely hot or whether it takes a little longer than most. This can change the cook times.
Variations
- Sandwich - instead of a flour tortilla, try a sandwich roll
- Pasta - Cook up the chicken and toss it into some pasta
- Croutons - if you want to add some croutons to the wrap try my homemade croutons
- Wrap - Try a low carb tortilla for a lower carb option
Equipment
- Slow Cooker / Crock Pot
- Slow Cooker Liners - optional - easy clean up
- Shredding Claws - optional but great for shredding chicken
Storage
Leftovers can be kept in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Leftover Caesar chicken can be added to salads, sandwiches and pastas.

I don't know why I don't think of using my slow cooker this way, but this is the second recipe I've come across lately where it's used to poach meat unattended. I feel like smacking myself in the forehead, d'uh!

No smacking of the forehead Lydia! I've just recently finally come around to falling in love with my crock pot. Using it as a shortcut tool, as in this recipe, is my favorite way to utilize it! Hopefully I'll have more to share soon 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment.
