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.
