Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 cup garlic-flavored croutons
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Let rest before slicing.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together Caesar dressing, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and half of the Parmesan until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine chopped lettuce with sliced chicken, croutons, and remaining Parmesan. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently until evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!
