Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Croutons
- 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 4
While the chicken is cooking, wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly and pat it dry. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large bowl.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil and 3 tablespoons of Caesar dressing until well combined.
Step 6
Add the dressing mixture to the lettuce and toss gently to coat the leaves.
Step 7
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and croutons to the lettuce and toss again to distribute evenly.
Step 8
Slice the rested chicken into thin strips and arrange them on top of the salad.
Step 9
Drizzle the remaining Caesar dressing over the chicken and serve immediately.
