Grilled chicken Caesar salad with parmesan cheese is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It's a classic dish that combines crunchy lettuce, juicy grilled chicken breasts, and a tangy Caesar dressing, all topped with savory parmesan cheese for a flavorful finish.
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil on both sides.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely browned.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- While the chicken is resting, place the chopped lettuce into a large salad bowl.
- Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the lettuce and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the grilled chicken strips on top of the dressed lettuce.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the salad.
- Give the salad a final toss right before serving to distribute the chicken and cheese evenly.
- Divide the salad into individual plates or serve it in the large salad bowl.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder for at least 30 minutes before grilling to enhance the flavor.
- Grill the chicken on medium-high heat to ensure it cooks evenly and retains its juiciness. A meat thermometer should read 165°F when the chicken is fully cooked.
- Allow the grilled chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This helps retain its juices.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese if possible, as it has a stronger and fresher flavor compared to pre-grated options.
- Toss the lettuce in the Caesar dressing just before serving to maintain its crunch.
- Add croutons or cherry tomatoes for extra texture and flavor if desired.
