Grilled Chicken Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add the cherry tomatoes (halved), grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons.

  2. 4

    Add Dressing

    Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

  3. 5

    Top with Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and arrange them on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
