Scale
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 head romaine lettuce, washed and torn into pieces
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Croutons
- 2 cups of white French bread (torn or cut into pieces)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Caesar salad dressing
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 oil-packed anchovy, minced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced anchovy. Then whisk in olive oil. Refrigerate until needed. It will need another whisk before you dress the salad.
- Croutons: Preheat the oven to 350°F or 177°C. Tear or cut bread into pieces and place into a large bowl. Mix crushed garlic, olive oil, and salt. Drizzle oil mixture over bread pieces and toss to coat. Lie out bread pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes and then flip. Put the bread back in the oven, turn off the heat, and shut the door. The croutons will finish cooking in another 8 minutes or so.
- Chicken: Between two sheets of wax paper pound chicken breasts with a mallet until they are an even thickness. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Grill chicken on an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan for 5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink inside.
- Slice chicken into small strips.
- Salad: Wash, tear, and dry the romaine. Pour salad dressing into a large bowl. Add romaine, Parmesan cheese, croutons, and chicken. Toss gently and serve.
