Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 5 g garlic powder
  • 5 g dried Italian herb blend
  • 2.5 g salt
  • 1 g ground black pepper
  • 2 large heads romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
  • 150 g cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 40 g croutons
  • 35 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 80 g mayonnaise
  • 15 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 15 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 5 g Dijon mustard
  • 5 ml Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1.25 g salt
  • 0.5 g ground black pepper
  • 2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the grill or grill pan to medium-high temperature.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry. Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, until thoroughly cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat, allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and anchovies until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. In a large bowl, toss romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes (if using), and half the croutons with half the Caesar dressing.
  6. Arrange sliced grilled chicken over the salad. Drizzle with the remaining dressing, sprinkle with Parmesan, and top with the reserved croutons. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container. Keep dressing separate until ready to eat for a crisp salad.
