  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 large head of romaine lettuce (about 10 oz)
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 cup homemade croutons
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat (375°F). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
  2. While the chicken cooks, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces; place in a large bowl.
  3. For homemade croutons, cube stale bread and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Bake in the oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Slice the cooked chicken after resting for a few minutes.
  5. Combine sliced chicken, croutons, and Parmesan cheese with the chopped romaine in the bowl. Drizzle generously with Caesar dressing and toss everything together gently.
  6. Serve immediately to maintain crouton crunchiness; drizzle with extra dressing if desired.
