Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
1 cup croutons
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts evenly with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
Brush the grill or grill pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, place the chopped romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl.
Add the Caesar dressing and fresh lemon juice to the lettuce and toss gently to coat evenly.
Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips.
Divide the dressed romaine lettuce evenly onto four plates.
Top each salad with sliced grilled chicken, croutons, and shaved Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately.
