Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 heads romaine lettuce
• 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup croutons
• 1 lemon, sliced into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub it in for an even coating.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into strips.

Step 6

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the lettuce by removing any wilted outer leaves. Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces, then rinse and dry thoroughly using a salad spinner.

Step 7

In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing and toss until evenly coated.

Step 8

Divide the dressed lettuce among four serving plates or bowls.

Step 9

Top each serving with sliced grilled chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons.

Step 10

Garnish with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the salad just before serving.
