Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Whole wheat croutons
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Anchovy paste
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, anchovy paste, salt, black pepper, and water in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Step 5

Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce into a large salad bowl.

Step 6

Add the grilled chicken slices, whole wheat croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese to the lettuce.

Step 7

Drizzle the salad with the prepared dressing and gently toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan, croutons, or a thin lemon slice, if desired.
