Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
• 2 fillets Anchovy fillets, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 cup Parmesan crisps

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 3

While the chicken is resting, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine anchovy fillets, minced garlic, egg yolk, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly whisk in the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Gradually add the 0.5 cup of extra virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream while continuously whisking until the dressing is emulsified and creamy.

Step 5

In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the shredded parmesan cheese and prepared Caesar dressing until well coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6

Once the chicken is ready, slice it into thin strips.

Step 7

To assemble the salad, divide the dressed lettuce among serving plates. Top each with slices of grilled chicken and sprinkle with parmesan crisps.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken.
