PREPARATION FOR CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

  1. Grill the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let it rest briefly, then slice it into thin strips.
  1. Assemble the Salad: Combine the chopped Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Toss everything together until the lettuce is well-coated with the dressing.
  1. Add the Chicken and Croutons: Place the grilled chicken slices on the salad. Sprinkle the croutons over the salad, adding an extra crunch.
  1. Final Seasoning and Serve: Taste the salad and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve directly while the chicken is warm and the lettuce is crisp.

TIPS FOR CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

  • Perfectly Cooked Chicken: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) for safe consumption.
  • Make-Ahead: Grill and slice the chicken in advance, storing it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Custom Croutons: For homemade croutons, toss the cubed bread with olive oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt, then bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

VARIATIONS

  • Low Carb: Skip the croutons and add extra veggies like cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices.
  • Extra Protein: Add a boiled egg or chickpeas for an extra protein boost.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute grilled tofu or tempeh for the chicken.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the croutons separate to maintain their crunch.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the lettuce and dressing do not freeze well.
  • Reheating: If the chicken cools, reheat it gently in a microwave or stovetop before adding it to the salad.
