Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 tablespoons Caesar dressing
- 6 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
- 1 loaf baguette (sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 4
While the chicken is cooking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, combine grape tomatoes, Caesar dressing, and chopped fresh basil leaves. Mix well and set aside.
Step 6
To assemble, place a few slices of grilled chicken on each toasted baguette slice. Top with a spoonful of the tomato mixture.
Step 7
Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese and extra basil, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a warm appetizer or light meal.
