INGREDIENTS

For chicken

1 1/2 pounds. skinless chicken breast, skinless

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

FOR SALAD

8 cups chopped romaine lettuce

1 pint of cherry tomatoes, cut in half

1 cup crackers

Freshly squeezed Parmesan cheese

For cesarean dress

1/3 cup olive oil

1/4 cup grated parmesan

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

4-5 drops of Worcestershire sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Season chicken breasts with salt, paprika, garlic powder and black pepper. Grill over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until cooked to the end. (Alternatively, you can roast the chicken in the oven at 375 for 25-30 minutes until it cooks to an internal temperature of 165.)
2. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes, then chop.
3. Make a gas station in the meantime. Add all the seasoning ingredients to a large jar, then cover and shake well to mix.
4. To collect the salad, divide the salad, tomatoes and grilled chicken into four plates or serving bowls. Top with croutons and shaved Parmesan and sprinkle with Caesar sauce.

RECIPE NOTES

• Romaine lettuce is traditional for Caesar salad, but lettuce oil or mixed greens also work great.
• You could replace grilled chicken as a last resort.
• Feel free to add some cooked, crumbled bacon to the top of this salad, as well as other vegetables. (I also like chopped red onions and cucumber.)
• You can also file this in the package if you wish.
