Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 ounce Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Whole wheat croutons

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Chop the romaine lettuce hearts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 7

Add the grilled chicken strips to the salad bowl.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss to coat the lettuce and chicken evenly.

Step 9

Grate the Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.

Step 10

Sprinkle the whole wheat croutons evenly across the salad.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy a fresh, healthy meal.
