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.
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
