grilled chicken caesar salad

A classic grilled chicken Caesar salad featuring tender, smoky chicken served over crisp romaine lettuce, topped with creamy Caesar dressing and crunchy croutons for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  4. Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
  6. Arrange the dressed lettuce on serving plates, top with grilled chicken slices, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, marinate the chicken in garlic and herbs before grilling. Add anchovies to the dressing for a traditional Caesar taste.
