Description

Enjoy a classic Caesar Salad elevated with perfectly grilled chicken. This Chicken Caesar Salad recipe combines crisp romaine lettuce, rich Caesar dressing, and satisfying grilled chicken for a complete and delicious meal.

Ingredients

  • Romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
  • Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • Croutons
  • Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Caesar dressing
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional: Anchovy fillets, garlic, lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Romaine Lettuce: Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and ensure it is completely dry. Place the chopped lettuce in a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
  3. Prepare the Dressing and Croutons: If you’re making your own Caesar dressing, combine mayonnaise, garlic, anchovy fillets (optional), lemon juice, and parmesan cheese in a blender until smooth. Alternatively, use a high-quality store-bought Caesar dressing. Prepare croutons by toasting bread cubes with olive oil and your favorite seasonings. Set the dressing and croutons aside.
  4. Assemble the Salad: Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. Add the croutons, parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing to the bowl with the romaine lettuce. Toss gently to combine. Arrange the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best taste.
  • Dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly to prevent a soggy salad.
  • Don’t overdress the salad; add dressing gradually until lightly coated.
  • Grill the chicken to perfection by ensuring the grill is hot and the chicken is cooked through.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
