Description

A refreshing salad combining smoky grilled chicken and creamy Caesar dressing, perfect for a light lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g (1 lb) Chicken breast
  • 1 large head Romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 50 g (1/2 cup) Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup Croutons
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by seasoning with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then let it sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through, then let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. Make the Caesar dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Assemble the salad by combining chopped Romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, croutons, and Parmesan, then drizzle with dressing and toss.
  5. Serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the chicken. Make homemade croutons for a fresher taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
