1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.
2
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, place the Parmesan cheese.
3
Crust the Chicken
Coat each chicken breast in the Parmesan cheese, pressing firmly to adhere. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4
Bake the Chicken
Bake the Parmesan crusted chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden brown.

5
Prepare the Salad
While the chicken is baking, chop the romaine lettuce and thinly slice the red onion. In a large bowl, combine the romaine, red onion, croutons, and chopped bacon.
6
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad mixture and toss until well combined.

7
Plate the Dish
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve over the dressed salad.
8
Garnish
Optionally, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top of the salad and serve immediately.
