Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup croutons
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Grill the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per 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 egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and chopped anchovies.
Slowly drizzle in 1/3 cup olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified and creamy.
Season the dressing with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pour the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken.
Serve immediately.
