Grilled chicken caesar salad with spinach and parmesan

Grilled chicken Caesar salad with spinach and parmesan is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the classic flavors of Caesar salad with the added benefits of fresh spinach. This salad is perfect for a healthy lunch or a light dinner, providing protein from the grilled chicken and essential vitamins and minerals from the spinach and parmesan.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp caesar salad dressing
16g
3 cups spinach
90g
2 chicken breasts
240g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
- While the grill is heating, brush each of the chicken breasts with olive oil on both sides. This will help to keep them moist and add a delicious flavor.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Grill the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they have a nice, golden-brown color and are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice and ensure the juices redistribute within the meat.
3. Prepare the Salad Base:
- While the chicken is resting, place the spinach in a large salad bowl.
- Drizzle the Caesar salad dressing over the spinach. Toss gently to coat the spinach leaves evenly with the dressing.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- Once the chicken breasts have rested, slice them into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the dressed spinach.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the salad.
5. Serve:
- Divide the salad between plates or bowls.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad with Spinach and Parmesan!

Tips:

- Ensure the chicken breasts are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

- If you prefer, use a grill pan for an indoor cooking option.

- Adjust the amount of Caesar dressing to taste, adding more if you prefer a stronger flavor.

- For a more vibrant dish, consider adding other fresh vegetables like cherry tomatoes or cucumbers.

This grilled chicken Caesar salad with spinach and parmesan is not only easy to prepare but also packed with nutrients and flavors. By following these simple steps and tips, you can create a delicious and healthy meal that is sure to impress. Enjoy your meal!
