Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
1 cup croutons
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped anchovy fillets, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper until smooth to make the Caesar dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad.
Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately.
