Chicken Caesar Salad

 

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large head of romaine lettuce, chopped or torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup croutons (store-bought or homemade)


For the Caesar Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2-3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped (optional, for authentic flavor)
  • 1-2 tbsp water (to thin out the dressing, if needed)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken:

  • Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat.
  • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill or cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips or cubes.

2. Prepare the Dressing:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and chopped anchovies (if using).
  • Add water 1 tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency. It should be creamy but pourable.

3. Assemble the Salad:

  • In a large salad bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the dressing until the leaves are well coated.
  • Add the grilled chicken, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.

4. Serve:

  • Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh black pepper if desired.
