Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 heads Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Anchovy paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 large Garlic clove

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit more olive oil if needed, then sear the chicken breasts on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

While the chicken is baking, prepare the dressing. In a food processor or blender, combine avocado, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, freshly cracked black pepper, and garlic clove. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Clean and chop the Romaine lettuce, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Combine in a large salad bowl.

Step 8

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 9

To assemble the salad, toss the sliced chicken with the Romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the creamy avocado dressing over the top and toss gently to mix.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo-friendly Caesar Chicken!
