- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup croutons
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle with olive oil.
-
Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
-
Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce and Caesar dressing. Toss to coat the lettuce evenly.
-
Assemble the Salad: Add the sliced chicken on top of the dressed lettuce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and croutons.
-
Serve: Serve immediately, garnishing with extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in Caesar dressing for an hour before grilling.
- You can substitute grilled shrimp or tofu for the chicken for a different twist.
