Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

6 cups romaine lettuce, finely chopped

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup croutons (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by preheating your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. While it's heating up, brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil. Season them generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to enhance the flavors.

    Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill or skillet. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked, and the juices run clear. You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin, bite-sized strips.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and croutons. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the mixture and toss gently to ensure every piece is coated evenly with the creamy dressing.

        Add the Chicken: Arrange the sliced chicken strips on top of the salad. Generously sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. For a vibrant finish, garnish the salad with finely chopped parsley.

          Serve: Plate the salad beautifully, and offer additional Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese on the side for those who may want a little extra. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and fresh flavors. Bon appétit!
