Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup Caesar dressing
1 cup garlic-flavored croutons
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

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.
While the chicken cools, wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together Caesar dressing, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and half of the Parmesan until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine chopped lettuce with sliced chicken, croutons, and remaining Parmesan. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently until evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
