When we have chicken for dinner, I cook extra for these full-flavored roll-ups. Featuring Caesar salad dressing, cream cheese, red pepper, black olives and a hint of garlic, the wraps are perfect alongside corn on the cob and a green vegetable.

Tip

Parmesan Pointers

When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I left out the olives because I live in a household of picky eaters, but it was delicious. I am keeping this recipe around :)

Fabulous! These wraps are great with a high-quality tomato soup. I used low-fat dressing and cream cheese. Also chicken that has some herbs, such as left-over roast chicken, is great. This has been a big hit every time I've made it.

Very yummy! My teenage son loved it. I used iceberg lettuce instead of romaine.

Quick preparation and tasty too. Didn't have cream cheese, but still came out good.

I hate cream cheese - anyone have any ideas for substitutions?

These are amazing! My kids would eat them every day! I was wondering if we can vary the recipe from time to time by adding a different salad dressing, but my kids said, "No Mom, don't change anything!"
