  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by mixing olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then rub the mixture on the chicken breasts. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  2. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, placing it in a large bowl. Add croutons and Parmesan cheese to the bowl.
  3. Thinly slice the rested grilled chicken and add it to the bowl with the lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Pour Caesar dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for extra flavor if time allows.
  • Use fresh romaine lettuce and high-quality Parmesan for the best taste.
  • Consider making your own Caesar dressing for a richer flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the chicken.
  • Serve dressed salads immediately to prevent wilting.
