Ingredients

Directions

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 2: Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).

Step 3: Grill the Chicken

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4: Prepare the Salad

In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups of chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup croutons. Toss to mix the ingredients evenly.

Step 5: Assemble the Salad

Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle 1/2 cup of Caesar dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6: Serve

Transfer the salad to individual serving plates. Garnish with fresh parsley.
