Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Low sodium croutons
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Step 2
Rub the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the dressing. In a blender, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
Step 4
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and have grill marks. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 5
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
Toss the lettuce with the prepared dressing, ensuring the leaves are well coated.
Step 7
Add the sliced chicken, low sodium croutons, and grated parmesan cheese to the salad.
Step 8
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salad if desired, and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Step 9
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and flavors.
