Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken breast
  • 1 Head Roman Lettuce
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Halved
  • 1/2 cup Croutons
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise For Caesar Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese For Caesar Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard For Caesar Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice For Caesar Dressing
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce For Caesar Dressing
  • 1 small clove Garlic For Caesar Dressing

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  • Make the Caesar Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, place the torn Romaine lettuce.
  • Add Toppings: Sprinkle the cherry tomatoes, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese over the lettuce.
  • Add Grilled Chicken: Arrange the grilled chicken strips on top of the salad.
  • Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad, starting with a few tablespoons and adding more as desired. Toss the salad gently to evenly coat the ingredients with the dressing.
  • Serve: Divide the Chicken Caesar Salad among serving plates or bowls.
  • Garnish: Optionally, garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and croutons.
  • Enjoy: Serve your delicious Chicken Caesar Salad immediately. It's perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner.
  • Variations:
    Feel free to customize your Chicken CaesarSalad with additional ingredients:
    Anchovies: If you like the classic Caesar flavor, add a few chopped anchovies or a drizzle of anchovy paste to the dressing. Bacon: Crumble crispy bacon over the top for added richness and flavor. Avocado: Add sliced avocado for creaminess and extra nutrients. Hard-Boiled Eggs: Slice hard-boiled eggs and place them on the salad for extra protein.
