Chicken Caesar Salad

Préparation

1. 1

   Season the chicken

   Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Cook the chicken

   Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through with no pink inside. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Slice the chicken

   Slice the rested chicken against the grain into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

4. 4

   Prep the romaine

   Wash and dry the romaine hearts thoroughly. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.

5. 5

   Dress the salad

   Pour Caesar dressing over the romaine a little at a time, tossing well until every leaf is lightly coated. Add more dressing to taste.

6. 6

   Assemble and serve

   Divide the dressed romaine among plates or bowls. Top with sliced chicken, croutons, and a generous shower of Parmesan. Squeeze a little lemon over the top if desired and finish with cracked black pepper.
