Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad without Croutons
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Caesar dressing (look for low-carb or homemade)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. While the grill is heating, rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure the seasoning is distributed evenly.
3. Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce and grated Parmesan cheese.
5. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. If desired, add lemon juice for a bit more flavor.
6. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place it on top of the Caesar salad.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
