A fresh and flavorful Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad that combines grilled chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, and a creamy Caesar dressing.

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

Heat the grill or grill pan to medium-high temperature.
Pat the chicken breasts dry. Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.
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.
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.
In a large bowl, toss romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes (if using), and half the croutons with half the Caesar dressing.
Arrange sliced grilled chicken over the salad. Drizzle with the remaining dressing, sprinkle with Parmesan, and top with the reserved croutons. Serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to add grilled shrimp or steak for variation.
For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and anchovies.
Ensure the salad is served fresh for the best flavor.
