Simple and Easy Chicken Caesar Salad
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 TBSP Butter - divided
- 1-2 Chicken Breasts
- 2 pinches Salt & Pepper
- 2 Heads of Romaine Lettuce
- ½ cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1 handful Croutons - any flavor
- Caesar Dressing See blog notes for homemade recipe.
Instructions
- Make your homemade caesar dressing and set aside.
- Over medium heat (grill or pan) add in 1 TBSP of butter until melted. Sprinkle on a few pinches of salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken breast. Place the chicken on the pre-heated grill/pan and let it brown. Cook on the first side for about 10-12 minutes and then flop to the other side, brown and cook until the chicken is cooked through about 5-8 minutes - chicken should have an internal temperature of 165F.*if using the grill top or a stainless steal pan, the chicken will stick to the bottom. Do not try to move the chicken breasts, once they are browned, they will lift and move easily without tearing.
- While your chicken cooks, you can prep your salad.
- Roughly chop your lettuce. Wash your lettuce and spin or pat dry. Place in a serving bowl.
- Add your shredded parmesan cheese and croutons.
- Add your salad dressing, and toss so that everything is distributed evenly.
- Remove your chicken from cooking, let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice or cut into bite-size pieces and top your salad.
