A classic Chicken Caesar Salad featuring tender grilled chicken breast, crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a creamy homemade Caesar dressing.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
1 cup croutons
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad.
Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately.
