Chicken Caesar is a classic salad with roots in Italian-American cuisine, originating in the 1920s in Tijuana, Mexico. This dish combines crisp romaine lettuce, juicy grilled chicken, crunchy croutons, and shaved Parmesan cheese, all tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing made from anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. It's a versatile meal often enjoyed as a starter or a light main course. Nutritionally, Chicken Caesar offers a good balance of protein from the chicken and calcium from the Parmesan. Romaine lettuce contributes vitamins A and K, enhancing the salad's health benefits. However, the dressing and croutons can add a significant amount of saturated fat and sodium, making it important to enjoy this dish in moderation or opt for lighter variations. Perfect for those seeking a satisfying, flavorful choice, Chicken Caesar remains a timeless favorite.
