Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Gluten-free croutons
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 pieces Anchovy fillets
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Let them marinate while you prepare the salad ingredients.

Step 2

2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest before slicing.

Step 3

3. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, mash the anchovy fillets and garlic cloves into a paste using the back of a spoon or a mortar and pestle.

Step 4

4. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed anchovies and garlic with the lemon juice, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Whisk in the mayonnaise until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

5. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Wash and dry thoroughly before placing in a large salad bowl.

Step 6

6. Add the gluten-free croutons and half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until the ingredients are well combined and evenly coated.

Step 7

7. Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips and arrange them neatly on top of the salad.

Step 8

8. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful Gluten-Free Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad!
