This Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad combines tender, smoky grilled chicken with crisp romaine lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing, and crunchy croutons, making it an ideal dish for summer gatherings or a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup croutons
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  3. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Place the marinated chicken onto the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  6. In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
  7. Add croutons and grated Parmesan to the lettuce mixture, and toss gently to combine.
  8. Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the salad. Sprinkle additional Parmesan if desired.
