Classic Chicken Caesar Salad
Garlicky chicken over crisp greens with parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing.
Ingredients
- chicken
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- onion powder to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 heads romaine lettuce depending on size
- ⅓ c Caesar dressing
- ⅓ c grated parmesan cheese preferably fresh
- freshly ground black pepper optional
Instructions
- Prepare the romaine for eating. Tear or cut leaves to your liking. Wash. Drain in a salad spinner or colander. Once the lettuce is washed and drained, put into a large bowl and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to assemble salad.
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder on both sides of the chicken. Use as much or as little as your family likes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add chicken and cook until no longer pink. This will take approximately 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on the cutting board for a few minutes while you pull the salad together.
- Get the bowl of romaine that you prepped earlier from the fridge. Pour on the Caesar dressing and toss to coat all of the lettuce well. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the salad and season with fresh ground pepper. Toss lettuce to mix again.
- Slice chicken into thin strips and serve with salad. Serve immediately.
